Question

ok well i need shoes i need dance shoes that are cheep and nice to dance with a need one for balet and one for hip hop

Answer 1

New dance shoes for hip hop and ballet? Do you want ballet slippers, or pointe shoes? If you are taking classes, ask your instructor which kind of shoes are prefered. Many teachers have very strict dress codes endorsed and will only allow a certain type/brand of shoe. There are so many styles.
If you are open on your shoe choices I suggest http://www.discountdance.com/, or http://www.dance4less.com/, http://shop.justforkix.com/ or http://www.nydancestore.com/. We have bought from all of these reputable sellers. Or try Ebay.....my daughters prefer leather ballet slippers with a split sole (usually Capezio), and Sansha brand for jazz & hip hop. Bloch for pointe (Serenade, hard shank), But that is just their choice. Dance shoe sizes can vary from your regular street size shoe. If you order from an online store, I would phone in my order to insure you purchase the correct size needed, as all the dance companies size varies. If you are looking at pointe shoes, I would try them on in a store. It is critical with pointe shoes, that you have a proper fit!
If you will be wearing your shoes only a couple times, you may want to check with a local dance studio, as sometimes they offer used shoes, or girls may post outgrown shoes on a bulletin board in the studio. Hope this helps....Keep Dancing....

Answer 2

The taps will not be welcome on the floor of the dance studio. The wear on the wood would be a problem. Jazz is a presentational dance, like ballet, choreographed and performed with an audience in mind. The others are more social, that is, they're danced for the dancers. Line dance is the latest iteration of the set dances, in which all dancers are doing the same steps at the same time. Ballroom is divided into Standard and Latin divisions in the international nomenclature, smooth and rhythm in the American lexicon, but there's some slop in the designations. Standard/smooth dances are those like waltz, foxtrot and tango. Latin/rhythm dances are those like rumba and cha cha. In either case, the patterns danced, though they're within the framework of the particular dance, are chosen by the leader while dancing, except when choreographed for a show or special circumstance.

Answer 3

go to discountdance.com. They have a ton of selections for all types of dance shoes. Make sure to ask your dance teacher if she want you to have full or split sole and canvas or leather ballet slippers, and if she wants dance sneakers or jazz shoes.

Answer 4

For a begginer for ballet, I'd recommend these. they're leather, double straps, and split sole.
