Frequently Asked Questions
How should the Só Dança Rabah BL180 fit?
The BL180 is designed for medium-width feet and features an adjustable main strap that threads under the arch, allowing dancers to fine-tune the fit to their exact foot shape. Só Dança recommends sizing down by half a size from your standard street shoe size for a snug, performance-ready fit.
What dance styles is the Só Dança BL180 best suited for?
The Rabah BL180 is a versatile open-toe ballroom shoe well suited for ballroom, cabaret, Broadway, character dance, and social dance. The 1.5-inch rubber-capped heel and suede sole make it appropriate for both studio rehearsals and stage performances.
Does the rhinestone buckle on the BL180 hold securely during dancing?
Yes. The rhinestone easy-buckle clips onto a secure clasp rather than threading through a traditional strap, providing a firm hold throughout movement. It is designed for quick on and off while staying reliably fastened during extended wear.
What floors is the suede sole on the BL180 compatible with?
The suede sole on the Só Dança BL180 is optimized for hardwood and sprung dance floors, delivering smooth, controlled glide that supports footwork across ballroom and cabaret styles. It is not recommended for outdoor or wet surfaces, which can damage suede.
How do I care for the suede sole on the Só Dança BL180?
To maintain the glide and texture of the suede sole, brush it lightly with a suede brush before and after use to remove debris and restore the nap. Store the shoes in a breathable bag away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid wearing them on rough or outdoor surfaces.
Is the BL180 a good choice for dancers with bunions or sensitive feet?
The BL180 features thoughtfully distributed straps that spread pressure evenly across the foot, which helps reduce irritation at common pressure points including the bunion area. The cushioned insole also provides impact absorption during long rehearsals and performances, making this shoe a practical option for dancers with foot sensitivity.
