Dance has Educational Benefits
According to education specialist Sir Ken Robinson, dance and physical activity should be valued just as highly as math, science, and other academic staples. In addition to cultivating and increasing respect and acceptance of others, dance has been shown to “help restore joy and stability in troubled lives and ease the tensions in schools disrupted by violence and bullying”. Dancing Classrooms, an outreach program teaching ballroom dance to elementary and middle school students, has proven how transformative dance can be to test scores and student relationships.

Dance Safely
Dance is important, so why not do it safely? Many who enjoy the art and exercise of dance wear sneakers to class, a shoe that is designed for forward and backward motion, not the twisting and turning required in all dance forms. Sneakers grip floors, causing injury to ankles and knees. Enter The DanceSocks! The DanceSocks reduce the traction on the area of the sneaker where you need to pivot. People find that with The DanceSocks they can use less force to accomplish the desired movement. This allows them to move more gracefully with greater range of motion.
Dance on Any Floor!
The DanceSocks offer styles for both smooth and carpeted floors. The half sock for smooth floors can be easily adjusted for more or less grip and include two pairs per pack. The DanceSocks for carpeted floors is a full foot design with a thick “swivel sole” woven for durability and come one per pack. Each pack of DanceSocks are $10, one size fits all, and USA-made! thedancesocks.com
