Movin’ Easy was in Boulder taking a Zumba class.  Teacher was wearing Bloch Dance Sneakers.  Dance Sneakers are a big seller at Movin’ Easy for all forms of dance, Jazz, Ballroom practice, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Zumba,  Aireal dancing. as well as everyday sports.

The bloch Dance Sneaker is a split sole so it hugs the arch, light weight and snug for versatile movement in any direction including on the toes.  The sole is made to spin and the shoe looks great even after long term wear.

I have worn this style for 10 years as an everyday shoe.  It lasts over a year and looks great the whole time.  And of course the most important is that I am always ready to dance.

Why do some dancers use shoes and some go barefoot?  The choice has to do with the amount of friction needed and how the dancer wants to feel the floor.  Each dancer has their goal of the kind of feedback they want from the way their feet meet the floor.  And for different styles of dance the goals are different for the same dancer.

With a dance shoe, the entire foot centers its focus on one area of the foot and it is easier to identify that point of contact when there is one unified sole.  A dancer will sometimes want to have the sensation of all the nerve endings touching the floor and for these times, barefoot is best.

The dance shoe is designed to give that feeling of the floor and to move as if it were a part of the foot.  That is the reason that the fitting is usually tighter than a street shoe.  http://www.movineasy.com  The soft leather sole gives the feeling of the floor with the control to be able to move quickly and stop easily.

As dancers work with momentum and gravity, the amount of friction affects the way they want to enter into a  movement whether it is spinning, flying through the air, or rolling on the ground.  Bare feet are often covered with a tape or a lyrical shoe to reduce friction and still give the impression of bare feet.  The dance shoe is designed to respond to the smallest movement for entering a turn or a spin with the added control of being able to stop easily.

Hard leather soles are too slick to give this kind of control and do not allow the dancer to sense the floor as well as the soft leather sole.  Street shoes and athletic shoes are not designed to move in every direction or to give the kind of feedback from the floor that a dancer needs.

Ballroom Sale shoes going great @Movin’ Easy.  We keep the dance fun going with best moving shoes and best fittings for happiness.

My dancing shoes from Movin’ Easy Dancewear make dancing easier, comfy, and just the right amount of flash.  My rockin’ MTB’s from Karavel Shoes make walking a flashy move going up the hills while I stretch.

“Yeah.  I can’t wait to try these out.”  Heard at Movin’ Easy from a member of the UT Latin Dance Club when he gets his first dance shoes. Size 14 and ready to dance.

That’s right.  Dance shoes make a huge difference.  They make you want to move because they slide as much as you want, they stop when you want to stop, they are your second skin that moves with you in any direction.  Well built, economical, flexible, light weight, a dance shoe has it all.

Mom with 9 year old says, “We have 2 of your bags and got so many compliments.  They are so unique with fun fabrics.”

Dance shoes made with quality materials and workmanship can last for years.

Heels and soles are replaceable.  Padding can be refurbished without destroying the shoe.

Straps can be repaired and full toes patched.

So if you have a pair of shoes that you love, take them to a reputable repair shop.
