Do I have to have dance shoes?

June 1st, 2011 admin

If you have never taken a dance lesson before it is not necessary to have dance shoes for your first lesson. Ladies can wear a comfortable heel that will not slide off of their foot, and men can wear a comfortable dress shoe. No rubber soles! This is very important, because rubber soles will make it more difficult for you to learn how to dance as  the rubber will get stick to the floor. After a few lessons you should look into getting dance shoes. Dance shoes have a suede sole which will glide across the floor very easily. As for the ladies, the heel on the shoe is placed differently on dance shoes to help you balance better. There are many different types of dance shoes, so ask your teacher what he or she recommends for the dances you are doing.
