I have a vague recollection of a ballet teacher using rosin on my soles to slow me down on a fast floor, I've never had one use talc (at least not on my feet ) I think some ballroom dancers use French chalk: it probably smells nicer than Baby Powder - being French it probably smells slightly of garlic (which might put off the vampires).
My own preference is to have shoes of different speeds and wear the right shoes for the floor. I use my, freshly wire-brushed, suede soled shoes on fast floors and my plain leather soled shoes on slow floors. I use my dance trainers on combination floors - you know, the kind of floors that are oily around the nose and chin but dry on the cheeks
This shoe strategy for different speed floors means that you need at least 3 pairs of shoes to go with each outfit - RESULT!!!
