What kind of shoes do you need for dance class?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong> The most important are the shoes!<\/strong>\u00a0A tango shoe or dance shoe is not needed, during the first weeks or months. Which ever shoes are chosen, there are a few important things to consider:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/tango_cipo_helyett.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-898 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/tango_cipo_helyett-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"instead of tango shoes\" width=\"352\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure that the shoes are comfortable,with soft(flexible)soles and closed toes. Women may have open-toe shoes<\/li>\n<li>A non-rubber sole is preferred, especially on the for-front of the shoes.<\/li>\n<li>It is important that the shoes do not have any hard borders on the outer-sides, due to the closed\u00a0position of the feet, which will be used frequently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check where could you buy tango shoes <a title=\"Where to buy argentine tango shoes\" href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/en\/argentine-tango-dance-shoes-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clothing<\/strong> should be comfortable, preferably not too tight, as it can restrict movement during dance.<br \/>\nWear layers, as the temperature may change during the evening, according to the amount of people and other factors (heat,cold,air-conditioning). Wear clothes you feel comfortable and good in.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tancpartner\"><strong>2.If you don&#8217;t have a dance partner, how do you find one? What do you need to do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tancpartner-mindig-kell.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-509 size-full alignleft\" title=\"minden t\u00e1ncn\u00e1l kell t\u00e1ncpartner\" src=\"https:\/\/endretango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tancpartner-mindig-kell.gif\" alt=\"tancpartner mindig kell\" width=\"259\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a>As with any other\u00a0kind of partner\u00a0dance, may\u00a0it be latin, Argentine tango or ballroom, having a good partner is very important.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>look for a dance partner in your <strong>family<\/strong>, among your <strong>friends<\/strong> .<\/li>\n<li>special websites: look for dance partners on recommended sites.<br \/>\nweb: in your search engine: dancepartner and your city name!<br \/>\nYou can also find dance partners on Facebook by typing in: dance partner or tango partner: &#8220;dancepartner&#8221;, &#8220;tangopartner&#8221;!<\/li>\n<li>It is also possible and recommended to attend a <strong>beginner tango class alone<\/strong>.
