Models
Good dancing shoes will allow you to dance more easily, and therefore better. Therefore, please bring light, comfortable, fitting shoes with a smooth sole.
Sneakers ideal for dancing have a handy plastic sole with a pattern of concentric circles to allow for smooth turns. Leather or suede or also good materials, although they are less water-resistant.
For years, Koen has been very satisfied with his sneakers from Rumpf, model 1510. These shoes are light and elegant, and they are also suited for women. Danceworld in Brussels sells this model in different colours.
