I wear the character-type dance shoes - which I had to buy as a bit of an emergency one Camber when the heel snapped off my usual shoes. Up til then, I'd just worn regular heeled shoes for Ceroc, and can't say I notice much difference (except price!).
I'll also wear my flat jazz shoes for workshops or when a dance floor is really slippery, but like to have some height with a heel - especially since, being so small, most men tower over me.
I have to say, though, I definitely notice a difference in my dancing when I'm wearing jazz shoes - much more bendy and bouncy - but there's something that just doesn't feel quite right when I'm that low.
I've wondered the same as you about the dance sneakers - they look brilliant but I'm not sure I could wear them for a couple of reasons - partly because they only look right with trousers and I never wear trousers to Ceroc (cos I've never found any comfortable and cool enough - or ones that don't make my bum look huge!!). And partly cos I was worried about not being able to spin in them. I'd love to know if any ladies find them good for spinning??
My partner's got the dance sneakers with the spin spot and swears by them - and his spins are pretty amazing for a guy. I'm really not sure what difference that spin spot can make, though -is it just a marketing ploy, or does it really work?
