Excellent info for beginners! I just want to dance for fitness.

Tapping is a great way to work out! So fun you forget how hard you are working 😁

So informative thank you!

Thank you so much because my granddaughter is 6 years old and in the first year of dance! Her school ordered the 3 weeks ago, and still have not arrived as of today. Appreciate the video!💕

[@stillkickingwithkarie-lee6657]

You’re welcome! Three weeks is a long time but maybe the dance school gets a good price by placing a large order directly to the manufacturer?

This is by far the most helpful info I found about fitting tap shoes. I have read so many other fitting guides online, such as snug but not tight, not painful but no additional space in the toe box, and so on. But what kind of space is considered "additional space"? Is "wiggle room" considered additional space? I never know. Nothing is clearer than you showing with a tap shoe and pointing out the toes should reach the end of the shoes. It also gives me a peace of mind when you said it is a tough call right there because I am never sure if I bought one size too small or not. Thank you for your video!

[@stillkickingwithkarie-lee6657]

Yes it is a tough call! You don’t want your feet to be able to move around inside the shoe, but there should be no pressure on the ends of your toes…. Good luck finding the right size! Thanks for watching 😁

[@stillkickingwithkarie-lee6657]

Those will work fine! 👍. Great for beginners.

[@beautywitches4181]

@stillkickingwithkarie-lee6657 I ended up scuffing them up but I have attempted to buff them and they look a lot better do you think they will make a lot of damage?

[@francisalanbeattie4458]

Many thanks.
