Shoes For Dancing
If you're looking to buy shoes for ballroom dancing and you're in the Charleston, West Virginia area, I highly recommend visiting Mark Harris and company at Backstage Bodywear, located at 205 Washington Street, West, Charleston, WV. (Phone number = 343-2100). Generally speaking, Backstage is located across the street from the Fountain Hobby Shop in Charleston. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. ** Special Offer: Mention our organization, WV Dance, Inc., and receive 10% off your next order with Backstage Bodywear.
If you're outside of Charleston and you're looking to buy ballroom dancing shoes, you may wish to consider ordering directly from Capezio, Inc., Capezio of New York, DanceSport Shoes, Discount Dance Supply, All About Dance, or Best Ballroom Shoes. Best Ballroom Shoes can be reached at www.bestballroomshoes.com or info@bestballroomshoes.com, or 585-259-9680. I think that you can also find some ballroom dancing shoes by visiting www.dancescape.com.
DanceSport Shoes carries several brands of shoes, including Capezio, Supadance, etc.
A friend of mine ordered from Best Ballroom Shoes with good results and suggests that their pricing is very competitive.
While you can use regular ballroom dancing shoes to dance the Argentine Tango, some people like to buy shoes with a certain type of heel for dancing the Argentine Tango. Suipacha Tango Shoes specializes in selling shoes for dancing the Argentine Tango, and I picked up a pair of these shoes when in Buenos Aires a few years ago. The shoes are well made and come in different styles.
You might also wish to try Viviana Tango Shoes if you're looking for Argentine Tango dancing shoes. www.vivianatango.com
