Are dance shoes necessary to be able to dance?
Absolutely. Without the proper shoes when you dance, not only can you injure yourself, but you will not be able to perform the intricate moves. So, is it worth it to buy a proper pair of dance shoes if you plan on dancing for a while? Would you play football without a helmet?

Most dance shoes have a strong, steel shank down the middle of the shoe to lend stability to the foot. The suede soles make it easier to spin, while also anchoring the foot when you need to stop or turn.

 Dance shoes should fit your foot like a glove -- a bit tighter than regular street shoes -- so the shoe can provide close support for your foot and so that the shoe doesn't fly off your foot during quick moves.

 You shouldn't wear your dance shoes anywhere except on the dance floor -- this will prevent the suede soles from becoming soiled. And, avoid wet floors at all times! Take care of your dance shoes by brushing the suede soles regularly between lessons and dances.

Supplies you might consider purchasing :

A canvas dance bag, usually carries 2 pairs and all your extras

Wire shoe brush

Quick shine shoe polish
