How it all started. Why shoes?

 

As a professional ex-competitive dancer I have learnt the importance of choosing the right shoes for my dancing from an early age. Of course, poor performance will cost you a medal and long hours of training would be completely wasted. So nothing is left to chances. And having the right pair of shoes that fits well, slides effortlessly on the parquet floor, helps your posture and accentuates your feminine curves is a major part of the success.

Having also worked in the shoe industry fitting little kids with their first shoes or advising international Royal families on the latest shoe trends or bespoke footwear I realized that there was a complete lack of variety when it came to dancing shoes. So I decided I can combine all that knowledge to search and create beautiful shoes that fit like a glove, feel as comfortable as a bedroom sleeper but help you look a million dollars without breaking the bank.

I searched high and low, I traveled far afield, I listened and I shared my ideas. Sometimes I failed, but I tried again and again....and all my customers' feedback and encouragement helped me in my search to create extremely comfortable and well made quality footwear for social dancers. With dance scene growing day by day and new dance styles sprucing up with the same speed as a new iPhone version there is a demand for a variety to suit different needs.

Our collection is carefully chosen with real people in mind. I select very soft materials to wrap up your sore and tired feet like a blanket, to cushion every step you make, to protect and support, to help you last longer on the dance floor. We were pioneers in introducing special buffed leather soles that last longer and are perfect for any surface. World top dancers recommend leather soles for your social dance as their first choice, whether you dance Salsa, Tango, Bachata or Kizomba

What makes our shoes so special
*We use only A grade 100% Italian materials
*All our shoes come with special anti-shock pad insert
*All our insoles are cushioned by memory foam
*All our buckles and adjustments are nickel-free and made with anti-allergenic metals
*Our stiletto heels double secured in place to allow for any heelwork and extra stability. These will not break or wobble with time.
* All our heeled shoes are fitted with a shank inside
Our shoes will make you look and feel like walking on the clouds. No more feet on fire!

Is bandana our new cool and fashionable solution?

I watched so many videos and read all the scientific evidence on all the facts for and against face coverings during the pandemic. The most important message that I took from my research is that:

WEARING A MASK OR A FACE COVERING PROTECTS OTHERS FROM YOU WHICH PROTECTS YOU IN RETURN

I have just returned from Paris Bachata Festival where I have been witnessing for 4 years an inspiring journey of Sensual form of this dance.

I watched with fascination young people joining the social dance scene and bringing new flavour and new dimension to it. Sensuality oozes from every pore of that dance and even transpired into the creation of a new music genre.
