Dance Gear Stores

Dance gear matters.  It's your style and comfort for practicing or showing your stuff in the clubs.  Choosing clothes and shoes is important in a number of ways: 

 

You need gear that makes you feel good in the way that they look as well as the way that it fits and maintains.  Having an assortment of functional clothes that can be worn and washed often is important as well as making sure those clothes let you move around comfortably without being too heavy or too loose or too tight is critical. 

 

The right shoe for the right occassion is maybe even more important than the clothes because shoes are of course your contact point with the dance surface -- which may be wood, ceramic tile, linolium, cement, brick and yes even grass.  Each of these has different qualities for dancing and it helps to have a variety of shoe types to make sure the surface never interferes with your fun.

 

There are many stores and vendors that offer dance gear for salseros and hip stylish clothes for making the right impression on the dance floor. Some are local to the Detroit/Ann Arbor area, others are not.   Please let others know what you think of the stores and products -- your opinion counts!
