What is the heels called on 2:40?

@MichaelLitke 3 ай бұрын

It's called a flared heel, it offers the very best in stability and balance.

What's a "small" heel? 3", 4", 5"? Can you please be more specific?

@MichaelLitke 11 ай бұрын

Small heel is more like 1.5" or 2", maybe 3" if you are used to heels. I hope that helps.

I love watching competitive ballroom dance, but as a queer person I get kind of tired of watching straight (appearing, anyway) couples all the time. I feel like an outsider looking in on a competition that I could never be a part of -- I’m a woman who likes to lead. I want to wear a gorgeous, femme dress and dance with another female-identified person swirling around in an equally fabulous dress. I had never, until today, thought of searching for same-sex ballroom dance and found this video. Watching members of the LGBTQI+ community dance together made my heart soar. What joy to see the grace of the dancers and the joy they exuded, see the awesome drag, humor, creativity, and fun of all who performed. I’ll be seeking out more videos and maybe one day a chance to see Gay Games dancers live. Heck, maybe I’ll go in search of some dance lessons myself! Love to you all, my fabulous LGBTQI+ peeps.

I recognize you like the softer, less structured shoes for Latin dancing…. But why? I’m new, 2nd lesson, and almost killed myself in sneakers, trying to turn, so I see the need for ‘slick’ soles. But I don’t know the reason for such soft/bendable soles and uppers.

@MichaelLitke 2 жыл бұрын

The reason I personally like split soles shoes is to be able to point my feet with more ease when dancing Latin dances. It’s my personal preference so please try other type of shoes and see for yourself what you find the most comfortable. Wishing you all the best with your learning!

I bought my first Latin open toe shoes. I wear a size 7, but my dancing teach suggested for me to buy 6.5 shoe. He said the big toe should stick out of the shoes a bit. Is this correct?

@MichaelLitke 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately there isn't a universal formula. It all depends on the show brand as each has a different toe finish. The best is to see how you feel in them. Sometimes it takes a while and a few pair of shoes to find the best model for you.

Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video. I would be grateful if you answered a question for me, please. Does back heel release contact with the floor before the front heel touches the floor? I want to know if at any point of the forward walk both heels are off the floor. Thank you

@MichaelLitke 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Katerina, the back heel definitely releases contact with the floor before the front heel touches it. If you try to keep both heels on the floor during the weight transfer you would drop down a bit which is not an idea of Rumba walks. I hope my answer helps you to better your dancing :-)
