Frequently Asked Questions
How should I size the Jive II BL303 ballroom shoe?
Women should order the same size as their street shoe. Men should order 2 sizes up from their street shoe size. For example, a man who wears a size 9 street shoe should order a size 11 in the Jive II BL303.
Is the Jive II BL303 suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Só Dança Jive II BL303 is designed for all genders. The sizing guidelines differ slightly between men and women, but the shoe is built to accommodate dancers of any gender in a medium-width fit.
What type of sole does the Jive II BL303 have, and is it appropriate for sprung wood floors?
The Jive II BL303 features a Duo Sole, which combines a suede sole with a rubber insert. This design provides the controlled slide needed for ballroom and Latin movement while adding enough grip to prevent slipping. It is appropriate for sprung wood and smooth dance studio floors.
Can the Jive II BL303 be used for both practice and performance?
Yes. The 1.5-inch heel, lace-up closure, and breathable mesh construction make the Jive II BL303 well-suited for extended practice sessions as well as stage and competition performances.
How do I care for the Jive II BL303 to maintain the suede sole?
Brush the suede sole regularly with a suede brush to restore nap and maintain optimal glide. Store the shoes in a shoe bag when not in use to protect the leather upper and suede sole from dust and moisture. Avoid wearing dance shoes on outdoor surfaces, as this will damage the suede sole.
How does the Jive II BL303 differ from other Só Dança ballroom shoes?
The Jive II BL303 is distinguished by its closed-toe silhouette, lace-up fit system, and lower 1.5-inch heel, making it more accessible for beginners and intermediate dancers compared to higher-heeled Latin styles. The addition of mesh side panels also prioritizes breathability, which is a practical advantage during long rehearsals or performances.
