How to Choose Your Ballroom Dance Shoes

Ballroom Dance Shoes are an extension of the dancer's feet, and it's one of the most important accessories for a ballroom dancer. Get the wrong pair of shoes and your feet may not dance well enough.

For best results, select the proper shoe first, then look at the variations of colors and styles available and create or find the best attire to match the shoes.

Ask Yourself Before Buying Dance Shoes

It's important to buy the best dancing shoes for yoru dance

There are a few important details that should be considered when choosing ballroom dance shoes.

- Do they fit well? Shoes need to be comfortable while still giving the desired effect of matching the style of dance and the costume.

- Do they allow you to spin easily? The degree to which the dance requires spinning, whirling and the pace of the dance rhythm are also key factors in your selection.

- Would closed toe shoes do better for your particular dance than open toe shoes?

As most of the ballroom dances are performed in heels, so it is essential that you purchase the proper ballroom dance shoes.

Cheap is not always better

Dancing can be rough on shoes, so the quality of the materials and the workmanship are imperative. Less expensive shoes can be used while training, but ultimately you will want a shoe that can last as long as possible so you will not be bothered with breaking the shoes in frequently. This requires more time spent in practice for the shoes, instead of practice for the dance. The soles should be strong, yet flexible. Ladies should be aware of buckles and other adornments that can cause pain while dancing. Men do not escape the problem of choosing comfortable shoes, especially for Latin dances. Latin ballroom dance shoes usually have a 1.5 inch heel. The standard dance shoe for men is a one inch heel.
