Capezio Bolt Dansneaker - Dancemania Dancewear

Capezio Bolt Dansneaker - Great for Zumba

It is always exciting when people come to us with an idea and recently Capezio gave us a pair of their latest Dansneakers to see if we thought they were great shoes for Zumba.

Capezio have 125 years experience of making dance shoes so we knew that these shoes would be great, they always are. The first thing that will amaze you when you hold them is how light they are. Capezio shoes are famously light but these are half the weight of standard dance sneakers yet hold their structure well. The firm yet flexible sole forms the foundation of this shoe with a low profile featuring an intriging flex notch that is positioned well for transmitting floor contact to the foot. A spin spot is present as is now the requirement for Zumba people.

We tested the BOLT Dansneaker on numerous surfaces for traction, comfort and stability and it passed with flying colours. We even performed the somewhat questionable spin on carpet so that you don't have to. We did this as most people wear their Zumba shoes at home on carpet and shoes that have too much grip will cause you to damage your knee if you attempt a spin. Our demonstrator is an experienced dancer who knows her profession so did a safe spin on carpet wearing these Dansneakers. The spin on carpet was completed without fuss or too much rotatonal drag on the knee joint so we can say these shoes are better on carpet than most dance sneakers and certainly better than ALL trainers.

The Latest Gymnastics Clothing from The Zone - Dancemania Dancewear

The Latest Gymnastics Clothing from The Zone - Dancemania Dancewear

We are very lucky when choosing gymnastics leotards that in the UK we have some many famous labels to choose from - just look at the National teams at international events and you will see their leotards and tracksuits adorned with the logos of influential international brands.

But for me I look for quality not celebrity so I always start by looking at the latest gymnastics clothing from The Zone because their quality of manufacturing is top notch and their choice of fabrics and colours make for very eye catching outfits indeed.

The Zone also always ensure that their latest range includes leotards for all budgets, from top of the range long sleeved leotards with intricate yet robust styling down to the basic sleeveless leotard, which still manages to include attention to style and finish that belies its cost.

The latest Autumn 2011 range of gymnastics clothing from The Zone is available now and certainly deserves a close look. As well as new styles existing favourites have had updates such as the addition of the new Petrol colour being added to the Sparkle range of leotards and new colour combinations to the men's ACE leotard.
