Practical Clothes for Zumba
Well, as you have probably read in my previous posts I have been having trouble with footwear. For every day classes normal trainers are fine but if you are doing more then three classes a week I would recommend low tread
trainers, sometimes known as fitness trainers but other dance trainers
will do.
During my research I found some lovely ones for street and hip
hop and they would all do you well. Also available is the more traditional jazz
trainer , these come in a split sole so you can point your toe or a
regular trainer style. It was the split sole that I was using. They
were causing me to have very bad foot cramp, so much so that I could not continue
the class, so off they came! I think I might be suffering because I am very flat
footed and tend to over pronate and the split sole was not giving me
enough arch support. It seems they are destined for ebay.
I managed to find a lovely pair of black fitness trainers from Nike at
my local JJB store. They came complete with a bright pink tick – what more could a girl
ask fo.? Well actually a lot!!! They are very comfortable and they feel
like I am dancing on air!!! When I tried them on in the shop.. I did a
few moves and got myself a little audience of 4 South American
men…after a little impromptu salsa dance with them…..it was time to
pay!!!
My feet are now ready to dance…yippeeeee.
