What Shoes Are Good For Dancing?

[@raisingamind]

2:45 I love how you bothered to showcase the invisible Air Max 90s in your shoe lineup! 😂🤣

[@DancersGlobal]

Ever wonder which shoes are best for B-boying? Vincanity breaks it down for you here!

[@VincaniTV]

***** Thanks man!!!

[@Jejking]

+VincaniTV You have a list of what shoes you have in the video, to complete your story?

[@septicneko9100]

+VincaniTV okay so I'm practicing breakdancing except my house isn't big enough.. Do you have any ideas of where I could go to practice?

[@aklondon1306]

Septic Neko at the park

[@miax6794]

I need some advice. I've always enjoyed dancing but never actually done any classes. Because I just can't get of my shyness and honestly I'm scared that people will judge me. I'm still in school, 7th grade actually and I'm afraid I might get made fun of. And I've never told my family either, I watch and try to learn from your vids when I'm home alone. Never in front of people.

[@AsiaDanceScene]

sin city I had the same problem when I started, but you want to dance in front of people as soon as possible, because otherwise it will take you a long time to get confidence in the circle which is very important for bboys

[@angeljimenez-hc4eu]

It's either now or never. If it's something you really love, then go for it! 👍🏽

[@drifterz9186]

Im in 7th too and when i get bored, i dance sometimes in the classroom when it's breaktime. And some of my friends told me that i'm pretty good. But i'm a beginner now. I only do casual moves (im a bit chubby so i gotta lose some weight to be prepared for power moves). This summer i will train as hard as i can and i will be ready. And at the end of the 8th grade, when the prom comes. Maybe i will do a little dance show. Dancing is much more than a hobby for me and i and also you gotta work hard for this. Right?

[@AsiaDanceScene]

Use toprock and downrock to lose weight and strengthen up, then learn power. You'll kill them at the prom if you do that!

[@drifterz9186]

AsiaDanceScene Thanks. I will.

[@LilAznOrginization]

If you're stuck between converse and vans I recommend janoskies. They are light and have flat soles with zoom air insoles. Now they are not as light as either, but they're light so trust me on this. The only reason i love them is because they have strong grip so when I'm starting up power i won't slip

[@VincaniTV]

***** Oh cool I have never heard of those. I will check them out.

[@tengchen6596]

I started with some old k-swiss shoes, went to converse Allstars but they hurt my feet, because i was wearing them all day in school and for 3-4 hours practice everyday.. So i got myself puma suede and they helped a lot! But the suede is very sensitive when it comes to rain.. And a lot of sweat.. So now i got myself some cheap 12€ practice shoes from primark (look similar to nike roshe run) and they are awesome until now, i'm practicing with them for 5-6 months now and they are still doing their job, light, comfy, cheap haha

[@TheNoirMan94]

When I look for b-boy shoes, besides flat soles, I like to bend the shoe from the toes to the heels. Reason, obviously, is cause when doing footwork, you're gonna be on your toes a lot so I test whether it's durable and flexible to bend easily without getting torn up. This is where I find adidas gazzelles are best at.

[@VincaniTV]

The Noir Man Those are really great for dancing. Puma also has a version you might like

[@brendato1864]

I love Adidas Gazelles too! Wear them everywhere I go. For me personally, it's hands-down the best pair for breaking because I find the sole doesn't rip apart like canvas shoes do after a couple months

[@covelatedspire42]

What about shoe sizing? Would you want to purchase a pair where your toes are hugging the front for toe specific moves?

[@Rose3ssence]

Sprained my ankle dancing and I was wearing converse, it started to heal pretty well until I fell in a hole... now I have a boot on, I had the idea to search a video like this, thank you for making this video, Imma get those air max 90s now to make sure I have enough support 😂😂😂 So thank you, really.

[@Mr-Tibbster]

What I'm after are shoes that are great for gliding, moonwalking, spinning, etc (Think, Lindyhop dancers, Michael Jackson and James Brown). But the issue is I'm also looking for something that is stylistic, formal in style, as I'm not like a "street" dancer, wearing sports gear, but want something that is comfortable to dance in, allows me to dance smooth, matches the rest of what I'd wear and fits well to my small feet. Struggling to find such. But I am also looking for something a little more casual too, and I tend to prefer "low supports" in style, and again a trainer (sneaker) that's not really not sporty. I got really quite specific needs I know...

[@paulread7113]

Same here, I do Modern Jive. Have you had any luck finding the right sneaker? I have just ordered a pair of puma suede.

[@boonswings1275]

Adidas Gazelle PROS - lighweight, super clean footwork, nice style, and easier to do pwermoves. CONS - it will wear our in a dew months depending how hard u dance, it has a suede texture so the colour will fade much faster if you use it when it is raining.

[@VincaniTV]

boon swings haha exactly. I used to get holes in mine lol

[@Chasemovement]

same goes with adidas neo low top

[@Flashlegz]

I always use Converse, they're real comfortable for me and let me feel the ground. I have used Puma Suedes in the past but I find them bulkier and heavier in comparison. I don't like the high tops though, take too long to put on.

[@VincaniTV]

Flashlegz haha yeah there is always that one shoe that is perfect for you. If you like converse I think you should search for Pro-keds. They don't really sell them any more but really great for footwork.

[@murfc6814]

What kind of converse shoes??

[@AsiaDanceScene]

Leather shelltops for training. The shelltop makes the front almost indestructible. I've been using mine almost non-stop for 4-5 months and they look scruffed up, but are still fully functional.

[@b-boyemme567]

For me the best shoes is roshe run the are lightweight of air max:) (sorry if I did an error but i am italian e dont speak English)

[@TheyCallMeMidnight]

the nike air max 1 essential is a good alternative to the 90's they offer the same cushioning as the 90 but they also have a smaller heel lower profile as well as a lower price tag.

[@BonjoVee6161]

Air max 97 very light.

[@Ms12martin34]

man you're awesome !!! Honestly, I don't even brake dance but you're videos are so amazing and helpful that I also get pump to learn something new ! Thanks :)

[@VincaniTV]

Ms12martin34 haha get back into it!!! Its addicting lol

[@cexiong1418]

Nice video Vince!! I agree on your varieties of shoes! I personally like running shoes because their very light. 👍

[@ragianazariah4392]

would you ever recommend skateboarding shoes for bboying? specifically DVS shoes. I like those shoes.

[@EvryDamnDay]

People always look at me funny because when I shop for shoes I top rock too feel them out. Another good recommendation imo are Chuck Taylors, the high tops are really great and sturdy for dancing.

[@Luis-325]

What are the shoes at 2:10 called? They look cool.

[@johnking5928]

I have some Vans that are very new that im trying to practice dancing in. Do hip hop dancers do things to make the soles of new shoes a little less grippy for pivots, spins, etc? I feel I have to work toget them to pivot and spin. Im practicong on a wood floor at home, not a proper dan e floor.

[@liemduong6729]

@VincaniTV what are the shoes at 2:04

[@ybhelly5463]

Nice video bro it really helped me choose a good shoe

[@anwarulhaq5303]

Hel Nay who have chosed the sho

[@jacobpham27]

Hey Vince! Whats the name of the nike shoes on your left?

[@DarkkieXx]

How about nike roshes? I find it shoes like free runs are too light so you don't get as much kick when doing power

[@boonswings1275]

roshes are pretty ok, but they will get tore up pretty quick

[@VincaniTV]

APL33z Hmm Well I have a friend that dances in Roshes but when I tried them on at the store they felt super comfortable but my dancing didn't feel clean. I hate dancing in Nike Free runs haha They are comfortable but because they are so flexible I feel super sloppy dancing in them.

[@VincaniTV]

boon swings Thats what I was thinking because they are just a piece of cloth. Ill ask my friend if he still likes them after dancing in them for months.

[@EthanSmillie]

Ever looked into skate shoes? It kinda makes sense because technically the shoes are deigned to grip. Ik there is a difference between a skateboard and the ground but there should be a difference.

[@zareefsamin1748]

How would Nike Air Flight Huaraches be for dancing?

[@emily76m]

Awww, I hope you get you some air max's. If I had the dough I'd send a pair your way. Thank you for your videos:)

[@denyuan4200]

How do we tell which is which?

[@stephanienoel2902]

What are the best shoes just for simple dance workouts like Zumba?

[@nicolaypastore]

air jordans 1, vans old school, air force 1

[@rumerobnamia]

Hi mr vincanitv do you give out coupons for your products?

[@allenthebboy4214]

You should try some Asic Gel Lytes! They're similar to Air Maxes and the mid support shoes, but not as expensive. They also look really dope.

[@elvinlee3214]

Whats the Adidas you're wearing?

[@vasilisdarginidis9976]

Thank you.It's very helpful

[@VincaniTV]

Βασίλης Δαργινίδης Glad you like it!!!

[@secretsofthesea7547]

What kind of tennis shoes are good for ballet smashed with hip hop?

[@bgirlvrock]

Have you tried Converse?

[@brennanandbeyond]

You should really check out Adistar Racers!! They have a great mesh upper around your foot and are very lightweight. Only problem is it has a slim sole.

[@manuelsanchez4076]

I been dancing for a while now but I somehow cant find shoes that I feel comfortable dancing in. I first used Adidas but It felt to loose for me, then Vans but they sort of felt the same. I'm currently using Converse, I really like them since they help me a lot on my footwork.

[@Sparkonme2012]

is air force 1 good for dancing? or are they too high? I am a beginner, I want my shoes to retain white and new for me going out , also for dancing

[@t.s.ravikiran5082]

thanx man really helped

[@jaezazwazz4250]

VincaniTV are Vans SK8 good for dancing??

[@chrysa_funny_breaker_cat1764]

Vincani you are very nice break dancer! You help me!😁🇬🇷

[@Samwell-himself]

I have air max 90s and the heel doesn't take long to adjust to They're really comfortable

[@justbesafeokay7454]

What about high tops I recently got some high top Adidas would those be good shoes?

[@Odysseus1]

Nice video!

[@VincaniTV]

BboyUlisses Thank you!

[@laredjchirkbelhadj4358]

vincani you're awsome

[@ligmaidola2476]

the music! u need to put it on bandcamp

[@NetSlump]

nice video me too..i was searching for nike air..but its not flat shoes..i love my adidas flat shoes..and converse.. but my knee pain when used in long time.. so i search for nike air max is it good> reebook hexa foam.. nike something~.. adidas cloudfoam.. to dance with in long session .

[@drifterz9186]

Are high top sneakers good for breaking in general? Like LeBron XI. I have a pair of Nike that are high. The outsole is flexible but at the same time not so flexible. They're suitable for moves like Indian Step but for moonwalk is kinda hard cause the outsole isn't bending. Maybe i gotta work on my feet too and try to bend it more. I got also Adidas and a pair of Lotto (it's an european brand so i'm not surprised if you don't know them) which is the low type of shoes. I need to get another pair this Christmas. And it's gotta be the perfect one.

[@drifterz9186]

***** I know. It's just that i want them to suitable and to look cool in the same time (and i know that's kinda impossible). High tops are good too but they're a little bit harder to move.

[@malavikasrinivasan8755]

Heyy, I'm trying to learn windmills and flares on my own but there isn't enough empty space to practise at home, what do you think I should do? And also my shoulder gets bruised a lot while doing the windmill, am I doing it wrong?

[@EvryDamnDay]

Malavika Srinivasan Are you keeping your hips elevated?

[@malavikasrinivasan8755]

EvryDamnDay Trying to at least. xD Another thing, I keep putting my foot down a lot. Any advice?

[@EvryDamnDay]

I feel like thats one of the biggest issues people have. Try going through the steps slowly to get a feel for it. When you get to your back elevate your hips and create a wide V shape with your legs and hold it as long as you can. This will help you with keeping your hips and legs off the ground when you mill

[@malavikasrinivasan8755]

Easier said that done, huh. Thanks for the tips, really appreciate it! :))

[@EvryDamnDay]

No problem! Comment back if you want advice for anything else!

[@shimonyap8624]

Hey What are the best shoes for gliding?

[@whatisyoursin7555]

im wearing jordans at dancing but they are comfortable ..i also have better step with them ....do i have to change ?

[@meetch8211]

thanos sikotidis nope if they are comfortable and u can move well than stick with them!

[@whatisyoursin7555]

Οk thanks

[@JNYVX]

I bboy in converse 👌🔥

[@Bflo23]

I don't like those real low profile shoes. Low height to them. Even though they are light weight and have some cushion, the tread burns out real quickly. My Air Max are way too heavy and too high. If they are too heavy, I definitely can't move as fast. They feel like boot sneakers. The tread doesn't even look right because I want a simple flat tread. I don't feel comfortable with them compared to Adidas Superstar which is my favorite. Flat, nice footwork and can glide on them. They last pretty long too. Try Reebok Classic Nylon too. Cheap, lighter and more compact, got some cushion but wears out little quicker than Adidas Superstar.

[@presliehouser8011]

I know this was written 3 years ago lol but i just wear converse hightops. I like the height, the tread doesnt burn out too quickly, and they arent to heavy. idk if this will help now but worth a try i guess?

[@Malleo_3232]

I'm assuming what goes best with my style. And my friend told me my style is like Bboy toyz. Idk I'm into flow and power and freezes. But I'm not completely devoted to style or power im like in the middle. My recommendation is cons, if not dancing for like 12 hours straight. But that's me.

[@muhammadshaeqal4431]

thanks for the video

[@mariotz1726]

how do you know if they sound or not?

[@ecmariin5132]

What is the name of the shoes that you are wearing on the vid?

[@nicolaypastore]

adidas gazelle or superstar

[@highcaliber350]

yooo i have Nike air maxes and i love to dance in them, didn't even know they were the best. Got a good deal for them also :)

[@chatchinh]

can u name some of ur mid sp shoes? pls

[@jillgab03]

Nice thanks 👍

[@alexmatsui2638]

I wear converse for dancing but why is it so uncomfortable and makes my footwork really sloppy? Please help because this is the shoes i only have right now.

[@enny3564]

It's not the shoes. It's your footwork😂just practice

[@alexmatsui2638]

It feels kinda really heavy too

[@itsdeadshot2501]

because your week lol.

[@itsdeadshot2501]

weak

[@hsinRamen]

Converse destroyed my feet. I have 1 flat foot (2 now thanks to the lack of arch support). My feet are also wide, so they aren't the most comfortable in converse. I found them to be kind of heavy too. Puma Suedes have been my best friend, but there are some pretty dope Adidas models (e.g. Gazelle) out there too. I've also tried Nike Flex 3, which I liked a lot, but at $99+ a pair... it was a penny too shiny to spend. Also, to the dude above, it's "you're"

[@MioXicJourney]

Make a video how to do double kick apple jack

[@Malleo_3232]

V kick

[@MioXicJourney]

Yeah ty

[@MioXicJourney]

I wanna learn v kick

[@jensmartinkollerud6257]

That help so much

[@Atlantafan21]

You should try to get some Adidas Boost shoes if you can. Real comfortable shoes.

[@cheuquefec3430]

nice video!! broo

[@BboyYellowFlash]

adidas gazelles. Best all purpose, durable, comfortable breaking shoe. (drops mic)

[@MagicGamer117]

the puma suedes are like the OG bboy shoes

[@estherx3988]

Hey, be honest could I be a decent breakdancer in 6months if I pratice everyday for 2-8 hours

[@furious.powers.troubled]

Esther Agunbiade Yes. AT LEAST decent.

[@furious.powers.troubled]

You'll want rest days though. 1-2 a week.

[@NinuRenee]

Cortez and air force ones ftw

[@xenagos4587]

i try it all and i preffere jordan´s or Air Max its good for me i like ur channel props from Mexico and im sorry for my Inglish =)

[@matthewrudolph641]

Ok. Thx

[@trer2230]

I get here after I broke in half a sole of my new shoes :)

[@bboyxtreme3792]

thanks bro

[@jerickroldan7890]

So wait, running shoes are not good for bboying? Or does it just depend what kind of running shoes you buy?

[@bzsgzs]

What pants are best for dancing?

[@matthewxiong5453]

What ever you are comfortable in. I prefer joggers because they are loose and are stylish. Skinny jeans look the best, but it may be hard to move in them.

[@bzsgzs]

Thank you kind Sir

[@matthewxiong5453]

Jackson King No problem :D

[@Fendy27x]

good vids

[@sal4dayz]

What About Converse What Ranking would those be?

[@VincaniTV]

Those are great too! A little less on the comfortable side but they will make your footwork and toprocks look clean

[@sal4dayz]

Thanks You VincaniTV! I Will be looking forward to learing how to breakdance with you

[@CuddlyJon]

Converse have quite a history in breaking really. They're loose and compact. Old crews would wear them like Rock Steady Crew.

[@raisingamind]

I love that you used "BBoying" as a verb! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@shinobieevee5941]

I like using addias personally

[@nbhhcghgfyg]

Can i bboy with Nike tanjun?

[@abeart0ffades75]

Dang then you need come to Oregon to the employee store or Washington for the discounted store you get airmax 90's for half about 50$.

[@marie-clairejiang1334]

What about Nike Air Force 1? (low or mid)

[@Amigos2310]

Jiang MC I have the low ones but I wouldn't recommend them for dancing because they are heavy and pretty bulky, which makes footworks harder

[@catiruizjerez5023]

convers are good shoe??

[@Amigos2310]

Cati Ruiz Jerez I think so. :) Mine are pretty torn up now, but I like that they are lightweight and have the rubbertop which is good for footwork

[@BrianDiCaprio]

Cati Ruiz Jerez Yes, they're the best.

[@justinlu8554]
