The smooth ballroom dance are definitely my favorite to dance. You get to live in a fantasy love romance every time you dance the waltz. You dress in a sultry dress and act the same way when you dance the tango. The clothes you get to wear for these dances is really exciting and they get you in the mind set you need to dance these dances. A flowing blue gown with silver ballroom dance shoes for the waltz is ideal and a red sassy dress with red shoes with 3″ heels for the tango certainly gets you in the mood for the dance.

Learning the Charleston All Over Again

In the 1920s, America and the other Allies were riding high off a victory in what was then the only World War in history. Unlike in Europe, where the scorched landscape was being rebuilt slowly, America had a solid infrastructure and a burgeoning economy. In short, people just felt like dancing. The Roaring Twenties is often associated with jazz music, flappers in revealing outfits and increased urbanization.
The Charleston, a dance named after the South Carolinian city, gained popularity throughout the ’20s. It became synonymous with anti-Prohibition sentiments and speakeasy culture in general. The dance remains popular today in Lindy Hop circles, and its swinging style continues to draw new adherents. Young or old, rich or poor, you can pick up a pair of men’s dance shoes and take part in a piece of cultural history.
Look Far and Wide for the Proper Fit

Where casual shoes are concerned, it’s not always necessary to find a precise fit. Comfort and style are of utmost importance, and so it’s perfectly possible to get by with a shoe that’s a half-size too large or a touch too small. It goes without saying that footwear serves a more practical purpose in the world of ballroom dancing. Shoes are available in a wide range of sizes and widths, and it’s crucial that a dancer finds shoes that allow her to live up to her potential.
Ladies with petite feet will want to consider ballroom dance shoes in narrow widths. By attempting to dance with clodhoppers that are a few sizes to wide, she could impede her dancing progress and make her overall movements more awkward. While a wider shoe can provide stability and balance, the biggest concern should be finding an appropriate fit.
