Some dance sneakers offer a lot of support, others score points for flexibility - and then there are models that feel so light that you hardly notice you're wearing them. Lightweight dance sneakers in particular have a few important characteristics:

• Is lightness important to you? Then it's worth taking a closer look at the weight and flexibility of dance sneakers. Especially for longer training sessions or fast step sequences, it is a real advantage if the shoe is barely noticeable. Lightweight materials such as canvas not only ensure a comfortable fit, but also make the shoe versatile - for example, for on the go, when traveling or in everyday life. Pivot points, which enable clean turns on different surfaces, are also particularly practical. One example of such a model is the Smove dance sneaker made of canvas by Dancing Queens ultra-lightweight and gives you the feeling of being barefoot.
  
  
• Do you like it when your feet can breathe? Then you should look for breathable material in dance sneakers. Especially during intensive dance sessions or at higher temperatures, it is important that moisture is wicked away well and air can circulate. The breathable material, such as linen, ensures a pleasant foot climate and makes heat build-up and sweaty feet a thing of the past.

• Which dances are they suitable for? Lightweight and flexible dance sneakers can be used in many dance styles - especially where quick steps, turns and changes of direction are required. These include bachata, disco fox, line dancing, salsa, dance aerobics and Zumba. It is important that the sole offers both gliding ability and sufficient control - especially when dancing on different floors.

At first glance, some dance sneakers are almost indistinguishable from a rhinestone sneaker - until you take a closer look at the sole and discover dance-specific details. For example, two integrated pivot points that stand out slightly from the sole and allow you to perform ideal turns.

Dance shoe sneakers for women have to perform well - they should provide support but also offer sufficient flexibility. Models that are suitable for different dance styles and can be worn not only on the dance floor but also in everyday life are particularly popular. Easy-care, water-repellent materials such as vegan leather can offer advantages here, especially if the shoes are used intensively. There are also differences in the soles: full-length soles often appear more stable and modern in everyday life, while split soles offer more flexibility - which is required in jazz, salsa or ballet, for example. High-top sneakers offer additional support on the ankle and are often chosen by dancers who prefer more stability or a more sporty feel. You can find flexible shoes like these in our Fuego dance sneakers.
