What types of girls’ dance shoes are popular?

There are as many types of dance shoes for girls as there are types of dance. Each set of specialized movements has a dance shoe to aid and support a dancer. Shops on Etsy feature a wide range of popular girls’ dance shoes, perfect for pirouettes and pliés. Ballet shoes for the classically trained dancer are usually made of satin or canvas, often with a delicate ribbon laced up the calf. Inspiration for the ballet flat , these popular dance shoes are a basic necessity in a dancer’s arsenal. The distinctive percussion of tap shoes comes from metal taps mounted on the sole. Choose between different materials like leather, canvas, or rubber, and different tap weights for different sounds. Their cousin, cloggers, feature articulated taps and buck taps on the toe when hitting those toe tips. Hip hop dance shoes for girls take inspiration from popular streetwear shoes and sneakers, typically high-topped and flat soled. Bold and stylish, hip hop dance shoes are often embellished with sparkling rhinestones and shiny sequins. Dance trainers also look like sneakers and are great for any dancer needing a robust and comfortable dance shoe for practice. Jazz shoes are a popular choice for rehearsals, musical theater, and lyrical dance pieces. Often, they come in colors meant to match the skin tone. These snug dance shoes protect dancers’ feet as they turn, jump, and kick. Another iconic shoe for ballet dancers, pointe shoes are strengthened by hard leather soles and boxed toes, allowing dancers to glide across the floor on their tiptoes. Warm-up booties cover a dancer's whole foot, ankle, and some of the calf depending on height. The insulated boots keep the foot muscles warm and supple between dances at shows, competitions, and recitals.

How do you choose girls’ dance shoes?

To offer the best support and protection for a dancer’s feet, it’s important to choose the correct girls’ dance shoes. Aside from the type of dance that defines the type of dance shoes necessary, there are a few aspects to consider when in the market for girls’ dance shoes. Check out these popular tips for picking the right girls’ dance shoe: Fit: The best fit for a dance shoe is snug, not tight, much like regular shoe sizes. A comfortable, good-fitting girls’ dance shoe helps dancers perform to the best of their ability with confidence, stability, and balance. Color: Dance shoes look their best when they are either neutral against your dance costume so multiple costume changes can happen, or they match your costume as an important design detail. Material: Suede, satin, leather, and faux leather dance shoes are popular material choices for girls’ dance shoes. Some materials fit better than others, and some materials dye easily to match costumes. Each material also offers its own breathability and support, which is important to take into account when performing multiple dances. Above all, great girls’ dance shoes allow a dancer’s foot to move and flex, and they secure the heel for turn execution and stability.
