Best Shoes for Swing Dancing! Classes + Social Dances

Hello darlings! I’m back with another video regarding two of my favourite things: swing dancing, and vintage fashion. Specifically, shoes! I do adore shoes, and have quite the collection of them, some of which you may have noticed on my wall in the background of my videos. I’m going to be taking you through my favourite kinds of shoes to dance in, and which ones I think are best and why. Let me know if you do any kind of dancing, and what kind of shoes you wear!

The best option for shoes when you attend your first dance class is always the ones you have to hand. That way you wont make a huge investment in shoes before you figure out if you like the dance style. Once you have decided to get a pair of shoes specifically for dancing the main thing is to decide whether you want leather or suede soles. The brand I think are well worth looking at are Werner Kern who make an incredible range of shoes including many vintage styles, with various heights of heal. Tower Ballroom Shoes in Blackpool stock the full range. There are however many other options. A lot of people take a pair of comfy Converse All Stars low tops and glue suede soles to the bottom (any cobbler will do this for you cheaply) and they produce a comfortable dance shoe with lots of glide. You can also go for Jazz shoes which are inexpensive and wont look out of place, so quite a few options. Hope that helps and look forward to seeing you on a dance floor one day. All the best.

I have three pairs made by Werner Kern, they are top-class dance shoes in every sense of the world.

Where are the lovely shoes you are wearing from that you said wouldn’t be suitable? And can I ask for your opinion on if Joe Browns shoes run small or large? I’m an awkward between 4 & 5 in sizing so never know what to pick! Thank you ☺️❤

The shoes I'm wearing are the B.A.I.T. Brittany sandals, super pretty and comfortable for walking and activities (just not dancing hehe!) I'd say Joe Browns run true to size, I'm usually a size 7 in s lot of shops and that's what I wear in their shoes ❤️
