Team Dance No. 7: Dance Shoes

Shoe attire is a very important issues when it concerns proper execution of patterns, which may involve turns, tracing, or unexpected syncopation movement. Just think about it! You would not attend an exercise class or go bowling without the proper shoes. For ballroom dancing leave your flip-flops, boots, and tennis shoes in the trunk of you car. Smooth soled shoes for both the man and woman are the most desirable.

We would like to invite you to join our free ballroom dance class on Wednesdays at 2:30 in The Franciscan Center.
