Ideal for Beginner and Advanced Beginner dancers. Excellent shoe for young dancers to experiment with. This shoe will provide plenty of support. The shoe comes complete with Fiberglass heels, tips and straps (not the Soundblaster series). The sound is decent for beginners, but should not be confused with the Soundblaster series heels and tips which are the loudest on the market. This is the same type of introductory shoe offered at competitors, except you'll find our price a bit more reasonable. We want to encourage kids to try their hand at step-dancing without the cost being prohibitive.
