I have the same problem with my daughter. She needs shoes for Latin/Salsa and has found the prices horrendous. https://www.dancesport.uk.com/shoes/index.htm has the correct styles, but they are £31.95 + VAT + P&P. Our local dance shop has a very small range and seems to add 50% to the online prices! She tends to cheat by searching out High St and online styles that look right but don't have the suede soles. They aren't as comfortable for dancing and wear out quite quickly, as she sometimes dances 3 times a week - it's an expensive hobby!

thanks Ka7e it is for Latin and she grew out of the old shoes very quick and does need the next pair so soon I have stored the link for the next pair !

A friend of mine found the same problem. She got her daughters feet measured for the particular shoes she needed at a dance shop (sometimes dance shoe sizes can vary can't they?), and then she went onto e-bay and bought some brand new ones for half the price!

We used the following company for our daughters dancewear/ shoes, saved a fortune on local dance shop prices - excellant service too, order delivered very promptly.

Not sure if they have what your after, but could be worth a look.

Edit - please ignore, just noticed your other posting re. Latin - they don't appear to sell them.

dingdangdoforme that site looks brilliant they are so much cheaper than what i pay for my girls dance shoes! however i am worried i wouldnt know what size without trying them in the shop as mt little girls are only aged two and four (tap and balletshoes)so their feet are growing all time and in the shop they check them for me ,have you any advice? cos it would save a lot of money your way many thanks!

Ebay usually have loads on or you could ask the other parents if they've got some their kids have grown out of - my daughter's dance school sell them for parents at much lower prices ie £5 for a pair of tap shoes.

I get my daughters dance shoes off Ebay, the last pair was £1.20 and were practically new, they are £18 to buy new.

I buy dance wear from the internet. saves a fortune. I get my daughter to try on shoes in local shop for sizes. Then advise the salesperson that I can't afford them just now. Go home and order. WWW.dancewear2u.co.uk has a good selection and price ok
