My Dancing Shoes
This season, my new hobby is going to be dancing. I signed up for Ballroom and Latin Dance classes (2 separate classes) starting this Sunday evening. I've never taken dance lessons before and have no clue what I'm getting myself into. I'm generally not too coordinated but I'm up for a challenge. It fits fairly well with my weekly schedule and at the end of it, I'll learn something new!
But you know what was the first thing I thought of after registering for the classes?
WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?
Not so much about the clothing but about shoes?!?! The class says to wear 'hard-soled shoes, heels optional'. Most of my hard-soled shoes are heels and although some may be more comfortable than others, not to stand and dance in for two hours! Well, there is this one red pair but then again, they're not hard-soled but rather lined with rubber hence their added comfort factor. I've got relatively comfy ones but they're point with a skinny heel, and I can fully seem myself trying on their pointiness. Oh, I do have these mary-jane style shoes so the strap can add stability but they are older and the padding may be worn hence less comfortable. Whatever will I do?
I bought new equipment for my camera for photography class. I bought new cleats for softball cause my old ones were all worn. Can I buy new shoes for dance class? MUST RESIST THE TEMPTATION.
Darn it, I am going to Eaton Centre after work...must avoid the shoe stores. I've bought so many darn pairs of shoes in the past 12 months, it's freakin ridiculous! I guess I could always be fair to my body and my wallet by trying out a week with one pair, and the the next week with the other. See how I feel and then decide...that would be the only responsible thing to do, right?
WHEN DID I BECOME A SHOE PERSON?
