Suede Souls:

Advice about Dance Shoes from the Staff at DanceWorks


Now that you have decided to continue as a student at DanceWorks, you may want to consider purchasing a pair of dance shoes. While virtually any comfortable shoes with leather soles work for dancing, shoes made especially for dancers, with suede or leather soles will help you look and feel your best on the floor. Also now available are dance tennis shoes made Capezio, Bloch as well as others. Here are a couple of places we enjoy shopping for shoes, clothes, and other dance related items. Please call ahead for hours, directions, and to see if they have what you desire in stock.

Gentlemen: If you have a pair of shoes that are comfortable, you can take them to any shoe cobbler and have leather or suede put on the bottoms.
