Choosing the right shoe for Swing Dancing is super important - you want to make sure you're comfortable and also safe. In this video I'll give you tips on what to look for in a swing dancing shoe, including some cheap and free options, for both leads and follows. I'll explain how you can turn a regular shoe into a dance shoe, and then I'll take you on a tour of my collection and talk about some of my favourite specialised dance shoes and why I love them.
General tips are to choose a shoe that is comfortable and allows you to move freely and slide across the floor. Avoid anything with too much grip, as well as sandals and spiky high heels, all of which can be dangerous for you and other people on the dance floor.
