Buy The Correct Tap Shoes

If you're reading this article then you're probably looking for a new pair of tap shoes. There's loads of choice out there so this article should help you pick out a pair which fulfil all of your tap dancing requirements.

Firstly, let's take a look at what makes a tap shoe different from other types of dance shoes. They're designed specifically for tap and have metal plates mounted to the bottom of the heel and toe called taps. When struck against a hard surface, they make the lound rhythmic tapping sound that is synonymous with this style of dance.

Just like any pair of dance shoes, your tap shoes should provide you with a comfortable fit. No matter how stylish they look, nor how superior the quality of the tapping sound they make, an ill-fitting pair are simply no use because they will inhibit your dancing ability. A pair of well fitting tap shoes will provide a snug fit to your foot but won't be too tight. If they move around a little, it's best to try the next size down as the feet work very hard when learning to tap dance so any movement of the shoe on the foot can create very uncomfortable blisters.

The style you choose is largely down to personal preference though for men it's much easier. Women, however, need to consider heel height. A higher heel may have more style but also makes learning to tap dance more difficult for beginners so remember to consider your ability. It's recommended to begin learning with a pair of fairly flat tap shoes and then advance to a heeled pair when your ability improves. Another important element of the style is the fabric. Most have a leather upper which softens with use, is long lasting and durable. A cheaper alternative is PVC. This will not soften and won't last as long as ever but is a good alternative if you're just starting out and you don't want to spend too much money.

Finally, you mustn't forget the taps! Tap shoes won't make that all important tapping sound without them. Sometimes, they will come with both the toe taps and heel taps pre-attached; this is certainly usually the case for tap shoes designed for beginners. However, it's more likely that the toe taps will be attached but you will have to attach the heel taps. The most popular taps are called Teletone Taps which include a sounding board which can be adjusted by slightly turning the screws which hold them to the shoe. Adjusting the sounding boards adjusts the type of tapping sound which is made by the tap shoe and enables the dancer to ensure their shoe makes a tapping sound to fit the character of their performance.

Am i too old to start ballet lessons?

I am 34 years old and am in very good shape. I work out and jog often. I am thinking about taking ballet classes to try something new. What are adult classes like? How big are the classes usually and how many guys are in them? I have worn womens capezio tights before...would it be acceptable to wear those? They seem so much more comfortable then men's tights? I know there are a lot of questions....but the longer I wait I might miss an opportunity. Thanks so much!

I just started ballet this year and I'm 33. Depending on where you live will matter with how many guys you will find in the class. The school I go to only have a handful of male dancers. The class can range from 5 to 30 in number of people, maybe more. In my opinion it would be better to buy male tights so they fit over the dance belt (which you do need) better. I haven't worn male tights so I can't say which is more comfy. I hate tights as it is. I would go for it, even if you are the only guy in class. Like you said you only live once and don't want to miss out.
