There are many types of dance shoes, designed for a specific sort of dance. Tap shoes have metal plates on the bottom in order to make the signature tapping sound that tap dancing makes. Ballet shoes are made of flexible material so as to not restrict movement as ballet requires much flexibility in the feet. Ballet shoes are designed to eventually mold to the individual dancer's feet. Certain shoes designed for Latin dancing have heels on them to force the dancer to carry more weight on their hips. Jazz shoes are very simple, no laces or buttons, just soft, flexible material to accommodate the variation that comes with jazz dancing. The bottoms of the shoes are stronger to protect the bottom of the feet in a way the soft material couldn't.

Why were tap shoes invented?
To dance... I own a pair and I go to a dance school so they were invented for dance. Dance producers say that they are used to catch people's attention as the sound is very different from other shoes and dance shoes!!!
Where can one buy boys ballroom dance shoes?
One can buy boys ballroom dance shoes at a number of different stores. Walmart usually has a few, but Dance Now is a company that always has a wide selection of dance shoes.

It always depends on which dance you're talking about. If it's rock and roll, swing or jive, the shoes will be different from, say, Tango or Salsa. Zioso has many styles of dance shoes that fit the type of dance you need.

Where can you buy jazz shoes?
You can get Jazz shoes all over, if your a person who has danced before and you know you shoe size for a ballet, jazz or tap shoe then you could easily buy online on... -eBay -amazon -zappos -discount dance But I would not advise buying jazz shoes online if you do not know you DANCE SHOE SIZE. Your regular shoe size can be much different from a dance shoe. For example I have a size 3 u.s but in jazz shoes I'm a size 6! Big difference! Any way sometime you can buy your dance shoes at your studio or at another studio (just call the studio and ask you never know!) another place you can get them is at (surprisingly) Pay less shoe store they have a small selection of ballet, tap and jazz shoes (only in black leather though). NOTE: By far my favorite dance shoe brand is Capezio Hope this helped!
