Frequently Asked Questions
How should I size the Só Dança Jive BL302?
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 BL302.
Is the Só Dança BL302 available in wide widths?
Yes. The Só Dança Jive BL302 is available in both Medium and Wide widths, making it a suitable option for dancers with broader feet who need a secure and comfortable fit.
What is the Duo Sole on the BL302 and why does it matter for dance?
The Duo Sole on the Só Dança BL302 combines a suede bottom with a rubber insert. The suede allows smooth gliding and controlled turns on ballroom and Latin dance floors, while the rubber insert adds grip and stability during footwork, making it well-suited for both practice and performance.
What materials is the Só Dança BL302 available in?
The BL302 is made in different materials depending on the colorway. The Black version uses Canvas and Mesh, and the Leopard is made from Satin and Mesh. All versions include breathable mesh side panels.
Can the Só Dança Jive BL302 be used for musical theatre or is it strictly a ballroom shoe?
The BL302 is versatile enough for musical theatre in addition to Latin and ballroom dance. Its closed-toe lace-up design, stable 1.5-inch heel, and supportive fit make it appropriate for stage performance contexts beyond the ballroom.
How should I care for the Só Dança BL302 to extend its life?
To maintain the suede sole, brush it regularly with a suede brush to restore the nap and preserve glide. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, especially for the Satin colorways. Avoid wearing them outdoors on rough surfaces, as this will wear down the sole faster and reduce performance on the dance floor.
