Some of my dance community like to dance in bowling shoes because they don’t grip the dance floor, thus saving knee joints. I chose to buy a pair of “regular walking” shoes that I treated with floorwax dust several times before dancing in them. They are ONLY worn on the dance floor. They’re probably about 20 years old now, and all that floor dust has left them with the exactly perfect amount of slide. (The previous pair wore out at about 20 years… but I’m older now and not so vigorous on the dance floor. I think these will last the rest of my dancing days.)
