we've got sole

So in getting ready to move to our new home I figured that I should write about some of the gear that would be helpful to you when taking the class. Recently or actually last nite, I had someone come up to me asking what shoes would be appropriate to wear to my class. I guess that's a good a place if any to start cause afterall I can't expect you to bust out in some wingtips or boots. Short answer is running shoes. Running shoes make great dance shoes because one: they're lightweight and two: they're super comfortable. Breakdance involves a lot of footwork and having correct shoes just makes it easier on you. When looking for a running shoe there are a few key elements to look for... the shoes you have should be flexible, they should be able to provide you with good grip afterall you don't want to be slipping during a set, and they should have a slight curve, this allows your foot to move more naturally when busting a set.

Another kind of shoes to look for are flat bottomed shoes. These work well if your style is more freestyle/popping/gliding. Flat bottom shoes like Nike Dunks for example are great for gliding. That's my personal preference. Basically you just want a shoe that is comfortable regardless of which style of dance you do. Having the proper shoe will make a world of difference, and will most definetely help you out.
