BE GOOD TO YOUR FEET!
Dancers:
Many of you have dance shoes and if you don't, think about getting some!
There is a big difference in how you will be able to dance and move when you have the proper footwear.
Besides having good shoes, you also need to take care of your feet as dance calluses or corns can be painful and can change or hamper the way you dance.
Here is another tip from Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.
Your dance shoes can have the suede soles replaced if they are worn.
You can buy replacement suede sole from a company called Toe to Toe Dance wear , Inc.
They have many other dance items and services. You can also call and request their latest catalog.
Listed below is their phone number and web site:
1-877-348-4362 web site is www.toe2toe.com
You can take your replacement soles to any shoe cobbler where you live and they can usually replace them on the shoes that are worn.
In Springfield, we use Dick's Shoe Repair on Laurel Street. They usually cost around $15.00 a pair to replace the soles which is more reasonable then paying $100 or more for another pair of shoes. The
suede soles are usually around $10.00 for a 9x12 piece which can cover 1-2 pair of shoes.
Ideally some dancers have more than one pair of dance shoes. Some of us have practice type shoes for dance lessons or venues that do not have wooden or good dance floors. The other pair might be used for the places that actually have a good ballroom type dance floor.
Wearing regular street type shoes or tennis shoes don't always help you with some unique moves. Once you own a pair of dance shoes or dance sneakers, you will never wear regular shoes when dancing.
Also leather bottom or smooth surface shoes are worn by many dancers.
So remember to check out the web site above as well as other places on the Internet and be good to your feet!
