PatsyCline Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Does anyone dance in their heels? It's taken me awhile to get used to them, but I enjoy dancing in them, as they make a huge difference when trying to dance in hold with my DH.

Amanda Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I've worn heels exclusively for the last 20 years and I dance a lot. I'd definitely need to hold onto someone without them :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganiwish Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have clogs to dance in, but my knees don't like me to do it any more. I couldn't do it in anything higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer heels Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I guess I do from time to time.....if in 4 inch ones probably not for long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbiNC Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Absolutely! I cannot imagine trying to dance in flats! DH and I took ballroom dancing lessons a number of years ago and that's when I found that heels make it so much easier to dance. Even in non-ballroom dance situations, heels just give me that extra "something" on the dance floor. It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!

Amanda Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 What's the highest heel you can dance in? I can dance in my Daffodiles. Unless it's spontaneous dancing I dance in dance shoes. Normally around 4 nches. It's hard to find dance shoes with heels over 4 unless of course you're looking for pole or strip shoes. Mostly mine are T bar style or at least with some type of strap or other to stop them from flying off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganiwish Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Tango suffuses the culture of Argentina.

DebbiNC Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I forgot to answer one of the questions! Insofar as heel height is concerned, I have two pairs that I really like to wear dancing. One is a Jessica Simpson Mary Jane style with 4 inch heels and the other is a peep toe pump by Stuart Weitzman that has a 4 inch heel. The SWs fit like a glove and I don't have to worry about losing them in the middle of a dance even though they do not have any straps! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!

PatsyCline Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wore my Interlopas to the country bar on the weekend. I loved them, and they did get more attention than cowboy boots. 1 "Porsche...There is no Substitute" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsyCline Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I did get a couple of ladies ask me what make they were. I don't know what stands out more, the contrast of the black suede and red soles, or the fringes. Either way I had a great evening.

PatsyCline Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I remember watching Heather MCCartney on DWTS a few years ago and was amazed at her dancing.

eoneleg Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I use my crutches, stand facing him about a foot or two apart and we do a box step, I roll my eyes to either side to tell him where my next step will be, or up and down for my coming toward or away from him. Takes some practice but we are very good at it as long as he looks to my eyes for direction. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoneleg Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I do not, but am thinking about it. Google Aviva Drescher, she was on ny housewives and her left leg amped below the knee. She has a pros with a flat foot and one for a heel. I use crutches most of the time, and dance on crutches. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsyCline Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've seen her on that show, if she didn't tell you, I don't think I would notice. And she wears designer heels. "Porsche...There is no Substitute" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganiwish Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've been dancing all night tonight, in my cowgirl boots, which are only 2 inch. But it ocurred to me how much better it is to dance in heels than flats. They put you on the balls of your feet, so the natural spring of your ankle takes the shock instead of your knees. I've had lots of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when she gets a pedicure, three sets of toes are involved. Her right leg (that she has), and one pros foot for a heel, and one to accomodate a flat shoe.

I have a pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps that I have designated my "dancing shoes" because the heel height (3 inches) is perfect for dancing. If we're going to an event where there is going to be any dancing, I'm building my wardrobe around my SWs! It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Shoes!

Sangue16 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I love dancing in a least four inch heels, the most I've tried is 4 3/4 so I am pretty consistent with that heel height. There is just something so powerful about moving about in heels, so in control yet a bit on the edge Peeptoe heels are my passion... and flexibility: www.Flexines.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meganiwish Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Danger can be part of the fun of it. This is changing the subject a little, but I used to dance in a women's morris group. We had one dance for five, vert quick tempo, where the one whose turn it was to be in the middle would do some footwork and the others would dance close by, forward and back, left and right, clashing sticks above your head as they passed. The unwritten rule was that you didn't hold back with the sticks. It was quite thrilling. The tallest girl in the group was eight inches taller than me. I don't think she enjoyed that dance as much as I did.. No heels for that though, just clogs. As a follow on, there's a bit in this video, about half way through (but I urge you to watch it all ) where they all dance past her and it makes my heart flutter. One feels very special being in the middle. I'm not convinced by the shiny blue jumpsuit, and I think the shoes are the wrong colour.But I like the video.
