In order to maintain our dance floors and our dance shoes, it’s best to keep them separate.
What does that mean? It means that our dance shoes stay inside and out street shoes stay outside. When coming into the studio, we should take off our street shoes and put on our dance shoes( or bare feet as the case may be). Then when leaving the studio, dance shoes should be put away and street shoes should be put on to go back outside.
Those who have ‘street’ shoes as dance shoes, like hip hop classes, should have a pair of dance-only ‘street’ shoes, not wear the same pair inside and out of the studio.
This practice maintains our dance floors and maintains your dance shoes.
