Best Shoes for Jazzercise


A few years ago Zumba was the major craze, but sure enough, many people are migrating back to the well known, over 50 years, Jazzercise.

Jazzercise just goes that step further into the whole mixture which is a blend of jazz and exercise for strength and fitness.


Jazzercise in a Nutshell

Jazzercise, in short, is a dance workout that combines jazz dance routines with pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and other strength training routines.

Jazzercise offers a full-body workout that conglomerates strength, dance, and resistance training with popular music to soothe the soul.

What Shoes Should you Wear for Jazzercise

Here are a few tips to follow when choosing the perfect Jazzercise training shoe.

  • Look for a shoe half a size up or with larger toe room, as with dancing your foot will inch forward a bit with some moves.
  • Make sure that the shoe and the sole is flexible, particularly between the heel and the ball of the foot. A split sole shoe is ideal in this regard.
  • Always remember the lighter the shoe, the better. So look for a lightweight design with breathable mesh uppers.
  • There will be plenty of impact on your feet, so make sure you have ample cushioning and shock resistance.

Split Sole
  • A rubber outsole that offers good traction with a pivot point is perfect for Jazzercise training.
  • Extra support and a secure fit are crucial to prevent injuries, so look for a heel clutching system or a snug and contoured fit.

In the end flexibility and lightweight is key in any dance shoe!
