Your first dance shoes – how beginners can make the right choice

Your first dance shoes – how beginners can make the right choice

Buying your first pair of dance shoes is a challenge for many dancers. As well as the design, fit, support and the right construction are particularly important. If you choose the right dance shoes from Veryfine Dance Shop Zurich right from the start, you’ll dance with greater confidence and learn proper technique.

The Right Shoe Shape

Every foot is different. That’s why a dance shoe should not only look good, but also suit the individual shape of the foot and the chosen dance style.

Beginners in particular often benefit from a style with a narrower toe box or even closed-toe shoes. These provide the forefoot with greater stability and prevent the foot from sliding forwards inside the shoe. Another advantage is that the toes are better protected should a dance partner accidentally step on them.

Comfort comes before design

Many beginners choose the most attractive shoe. In the long run, however, a well-fitting dance shoe is the better choice. Only a properly fitting shoe allows for controlled footwork and prevents pressure points or pain.

At the Veryfine Dance Shop in Zurich, we’ll be happy to advise you on which dance shoe best suits your foot and your dance style.
