The
importance of good ballet dance shoes
Surely you already know how important it is to
have comfortable clothes to go dancing. Well, with the dance shoes, the same.
You will also have to add to these points two essential characteristics to
choose a correct pair of girl ballet shoes.
First: security. What do we mean well; a
suitable dance shoe must take care and protect the feet and should be supple
and comfortable on your feet.
Second, the comfort and performance of dance
shoes. The ballet shoes should not be too tight that your toes will curl, or
should not be too loose.
The modern ballet shoes
are made of stretch canvas or soft leather which conforms to your feet. There
is no tie string in
them, just slip in them and dance.
Characteristics
to choose the right Tap shoe
So, let's see the parameters and
characteristics that you must take into account when looking for suitable girls' women's or men tap shoes,
The
height:
If you are new to the world of dance and are
not used to wearing heels, tap shoes will have smaller heels. Generally
starting out you should practice and dance in one inch flat heel shoes. As you
advance ladies can switch to two or three inches tap shoes for stage. The lower
heel tap shoes have more stability, and the
legs and feet get less tired while dancing or practice, while high heel tap
shoes you will get tired easily. Even so, if you keep getting very tired during
your sessions, here is a tip: try to put your heels on the ground, or take a
rest with your feet up.
Design and style of Tap dance shoes
The tap shoes should
have a non slip grip on the sole of the shoes, to stop you from slipping while
you do your shuffles. To avoid slipping
and to avoid injuries with big metal pieces at the sole of the shoes without a non-slip grip one is looking for
trouble. With the new taps on the shoes it is recommended to scuff the metal on
the shoes by practicing before performance. Overall the tap shoes should not be
too tight or loose to give you blisters.
The
sole of the shoe
One of the things you should take into account
the most, besides the design and height, is the manufacturing material of the
soles of your dance shoes. Look at the composition of the sole of women tap shoes. A good tap shoe sole
is made of good leather, thicker the better, and taps should cover the heel and
toes, with non slip after the front taps.
The
durability of dance shoes
Also a good tap shoe should be of supple
leather with good lining to give a comfortable feel, It is recommended that the
manufacturing material of the dance shoes itself be one hundred percent
leather. Although they tend to be more expensive, they have a much longer
useful life than synthetic material.
Caring
for your footwear: hygiene and maintenance
The first step you should do after using the
tap or ballet shoes is to air out. This way, you will prevent sweat from
hardening the soles and materials of the women tap shoes or ballet shoes. Tap shoes you can
brush them with brush and polish, ballet shoes are of softer material
you can clean them with a little bit of water on a cloth. before looking for a
space to store them in your dance bag. You can always use anti fungal and anti
odor spray.
