CROCS GANG 😤

[@mrdesperate1]

@@Dark_Angel555 As a dancer, I challenge you to do toe spins with out shoes. Please upload your videos, will be awesome to see... Yeah, you can dance without shoes. If you do modern you probably won't have shoes. But when talking about shoes in hip hop, they perform a very functional role. What you're saying is out of context. Like if you watch a video on point shoes for ballet and made this comment. You literally can't perform ballet en pointe without the proper shoes designed for that... Let's not forget tap dance, who cares if you wear crocs or just socks, you'll be fine.

[@n.n9056]

For y'all newbies out there, you have to remember that dance shoes are not limited to only these 10 shoes. Your dance shoes should be: 1. Thick padded - to provide stability when you dance 2. Have thick sole - so that you won't strain your foot so much 3. Have flexible sole - easier to move around 4. Grippy/slippery sole - (your preference) slippery allows you to slide, grippy provide stability when you spin 5. Overall comfortable (break in process fast) - no blisters when you dance Hope this helps 😁

[@LisaMarie-rh5yn]

Naufal Nasir YES! what I was really lookin for was that slippery sole biz u mentioned. For me it’s the sliding fw I’m always workin on. Every shoe I order is too rubbery/sticky. Do u have any suggestions from his list or other, that’s good for that? TY!!

[@FunPaa]

[@alinah1403]

"No blisters" time to throw my pointe shoes out the window!

[@flamflan1014]

Thanks! I needed this :)

[@n.n9056]

@@LisaMarie-rh5yn goshh, so sorry I took so long to see this. For the slippery soles, I would go to a night market to buy one. They are cheap, and having low quality sole is one of the reasons why they are cheap (low quality sole = slippery sole). Another factor could also be that the materials are very low quality, thus they are very very easy to tear apart, if you dance in them all day. Yeah you might have to buy multiple shoes, but as long as it fits your dance style, you're good.

omg finally, i've been waiting for someone to educate me on dance sneakers for SO LONG. As a newer dancer, I've invested in some BS sneakers and have had several troubles with grip, spins, or being too light and losing balance all the time LOL. I APPRECIATE YOU STEEZY.

Is vans can be used for toe stand

[@meanmuggin0384]

@@sivadasanmc umm depends. If you're wearing platforms then maybee but idk

[@Bflo23]

Reebok Classic Nylon is my favorite. So comfortable, light weight, some nice cushion, flexible upper, flexible sole and breathable. I like the Adidas Superstar alot too (have tons of superstar and wore them so much in my clubbing days) but they are quite heavy, not as flexible in the sole and upper and less breathable than the Reebok. Good with slides. I have the adidas ultraboost and pureboost too. Never went dancing in them but I actually like using my pureboost with boxing. I have vans and they have nice tacky traction but too heavy. I can't imagine dancing dancing with any heavy hightops in this video. I don't need ankle stability around my ankles when I dance. Restricts movements. I remember seeing so many with the pumas. I am interested in trying the puma and Adidas gazelle.

[@jasonfanclub4267]

Thank you! Will start dancing next Year

[@DeepankarDetrox]

Nike Airmax 90s , Puma Rsx Bold are also good options for dancing. Specially those amazing colorways they come in!

[@wheresmyrooptoff4056]

This is a video every dancer needs. Only other dance shoe video I know of is Poppin John's one. You guys really should have included a category for "grip" because when poppers need to do footwork like a Wiggle Walk, Glide, etc. they need not grippy shoes. BTW all vans are good for dance because they're thick soled and flat so they aren't very grippy but VERY durable. Also where the hell are Hush Puppies?

[@vedangi_Sharma7]

Thanks for this video now I know which one I want for my dancing

[@12SilviaD]

I love adidas Ultraboosts, my one problem is that they have a little too much grip. This might also depend on the studio floors but I find it really hard to turn or glide in them sometimes. And with that, makes my knees hurt if I’m not careful.

[@sagayarani9747]

Wow..for new beginners you people give a lot of details even shoes too ...awesome

[@ebinmartin5904]

Is that good for moon walk?

[@zobizobizobi]

@@ebinmartin5904 yeah it’s good for backsliding ! Wear them down a bit and the soles are thin so you can feel the weight placement

[@imkeithyeet]

i use nmds and ultraboost because they are light to wear and easy to do dance moves in.

[@colinorofeo1612]

if the jordan 1 is outta your price range, grab a converse chuck taylor 70

[@dharmatimes7968]

Is that comfortable and lasting long when if u uses it for dancing hip hop ??

[@rifzzz5948]

@@dharmatimes7968 Chuck Taylors last for a while but if you want something between the price of $300 Jordan 1 and a Under $100 chuck Taylor. I suggest you get either the CDG Highs or the Fear of God chucks

[@PORT.design]

I like wearing Puma Classics for popping, however, I stopped getting the suedes. While they look really fresh straight out of the box, if you get sweaty the dye starts to run. After a while, the white swoosh on the side and my socks started to get stained an off-black color.

[@monadrian13]

Can you guys give us tips on how to teach a piece❤️

[@Coderedpirate]

Mon Cruz id love a video on that too, but if you need help 1. Knowing your counts 2. Knowing your musicality 3. Knowing your choreo These are the golden 3 anytime I need to teach

[@steezystudio]

Ooo, like that idea -- who else would be interested in that video? Like this comment to let us know!

[@yungebola5524]

i disagree about the ultraboosts. They're amazingly comfortable and good for active/athletic use, but they're too grippy for dancing. You can't slide easily on anything that isn't a sanded studio floor, which is a big dealbreaker for me.

[@kimslife_de]

yeah, i always "bouncing" a little bit more with them.. it is not a good dancing shoe

[@angled8955]

Aight but which shoe is the best for toespins? While also being good for spinning on the side of your foot, an ankle spin we can call it. I’d love to do these things without the shoe getting ripped as that have happened to me before. For me it stands between the Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 1, but if y’all have better suggestions that is much appreciated.

[@angled8955]

Nah, both the air force and jordans were mid (to me)

[@ashavari]

Can y'all do an updated version of this video loool im tryna find an aesthetic all black dance shoe rn and STRUGGLING (i dont want airforce 1s i dont like them + the memes are not it hahahaha)

[@IAMKINGD]

this is a bomb list guys! kudos! I blogged about this a while ago, so might add a few more for the comment readers: *im partial to nike* Performance: Nike Blazer (Clean and tall with many color ways, perfect for any look), Jordan 14 (I never used my feet so effortlessly, but they are a lil heavy), Bonus: Any shoe that Puspos wears. (Sick selection with style and flex versatility) Class: Air Max 90 (With the perfect fit, you won't ever lose), Nike SB (If it's good enough to skate in, its great to 8count), Nike Presto/React Element: Perfect shoe to steeze in with room to grip the floor Training/Rehearsal: Nike Zoom Pegasus (Perfect), A very old pair of Jordans (they're made for a season of bball, let em push you through all those hours)

[@selinyucelbak]

Boombibimbap i dont know the type you mentioned but i dance in filas and they make you feel very safe and strong. The only problem is it’s not the most flexible/light shoe even tho its super comfortable, so it might not be the best for floorwork. But i still reccommend filas for everything 10/10

[@medic1759]

Celine Tbh i wanted to change my old shoes because sometimes, after a few hours or just randomly, my feet hurted in them + my ankles are very laxe so my superstars don’t do the job either So do you think a fila would be okay so ?

[@medic1759]

Celine + I don’t do floorwork much so that’s not really a problem !

[@selinyucelbak]

Boombibimbap it doesnt capture your ankle tightly so i dont think it would be a problem there. And fila is like very hard as material but soft as usage and i never had a problem with them or they havent made my feet hurt ever. But keep in mind what’s right for me might not fit you, definitely try them on before deciding!

what do you think about the jordan flight 45, jordan 14 and nike rt1 high?

[@puffin20]

I prefer training toprocks ad footworks in much heavier skate shoes like Osiris Protocol, Globe Tilt or DC Pure SE. The reason is that they are harder to ruin cause off the high quality materials, they look dope and the most important part is that they are heavy and bulky which provides a bit more challenging training session. When I started training, it was really hard because of the weight, but after sometime I got used to them and not even feeling tired. When it's battle time, I wear Puma Suede Classic Bboy which are really light and my movement is getting way faster in them. You should try that out!
