Dance Sneakers

It is common for partners, dance teams, troops, and companies to combine partner dancing and solo dancing within the same routine. It can be dangerous for women to do big jumps and hip hop in 3” Latin heels so many individuals and groups use dance sneakers for these types of routines. Dance sneakers are also great for dancing outdoors and on concrete. (Wearing suede soled shoes on cement will ruin them.)

Dance sneakers generally have a gap between the heel and ball of the shoe to allow dancers to flex their arch. Because of this gap, it is easy to sprain your foot, knee, etc. while spinning if the ball of your shoe sticks to the floor and does not move with the rest of you. Be cautious when doing more than one spin in dance sneakers on concrete and buy dance sneakers that fit snuggly and allow you to spin without traction . Brands like Capezio and Bloch make very sturdy and comfortable sneakers that can last a long time. Worldtone has a great selection of dance sneakers and you can find some at Champion Dance Shoes as well.
