Fuego Dance Sneakers

These dance sneakers are truly revolutionizing the market. They are the lightest-weight dance sneakers available. I’ve got a pair myself, and they’re my favorite shoes to teach in when I’ve got hours to get through. 

All Fuego styles feature patented outsole technology including pivot points to help with spins and turns and a sole engineered for dancing on any surface. The dual pivot point on the bottom of Fuego sneakers lifts a dancer two millimeters off the ground, which boosts spin ability while reducing friction and torque on a dancer’s knees.

Giveaway winner receives: a free pair of sneakers in the style and color of choice

Jule Dancewear

Founded by former professional dancer, Julia Cinquimani, Jule Dancewear is a high-quality dancewear brand committed to producing dancewear that accommodates all body types.  Jule Dancwewear’s leotards focus on fashion and function in their sleek and comfortable designs. 

Jule is honestly my leotard obsession. I’ve got a collection of them, and each one is better than the last. They help me feel beautiful and confident. Dancewear really can have a transformative impact on how you feel as you’re dancing. Make sure you give Jule a try to see for yourself. 

Giveaway winner receives: a leotard of your choice

Lauren in the Limelight by Miriam Landis

Miriam Landis is a former professional ballerina now on faculty at Pacific Northwest Ballet School.

Orza Pro Ones

Another shoe brand that is revolutionizing the market is dancer and medical professional-backed brand, Orza by Seth Orza.  

The Orza Pro Ones are designed to provide shock absorption and stability.  With patented technology, the Orza Pro One can help protect against injury and enhance a dancer’s well-being. 

I haven’t gotten to try Orza Pro Ones just yet, but I’m getting some for Christmas! I can’t wait to see how they fit and perform. The reviews are amazing.

Giveaway winner receives: 1 pair of Orza Pro Ones in the material, color, and size of choice

PerfectFit Pointe 

PerfectFit Pointe provides a custom pointe shoe insert that the user molds themselves.  These inserts aid in relieving pressure points and help with weight distribution.  

PerfectFit Pointe inserts are a smart-fitting solution to helping your foot fit perfectly in your shoe.  Currently used by many professional dancers, PerfectFit is built to support your pointe shoe journey and help you dance confidently and joyfully. 

Whenever I see PerfectFit videos, I can’t help but think what a difference they would have made for me in relieving pain and pressure on pointe. Definitely give this product a try!
