Supportive, cushioned and exceptionally versatile, they combine the protection of a substantial dance sneaker with the flexibility children need for proper studio movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom jazz and commercial to hip hop and Irish dance practice, Boost is one of our favourite choices for busy young dancers whose training doesn't fit neatly into just one style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for Growing Dancers Who Do a Bit of Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike an ordinary sports trainer, Boost is designed specifically around dance movement. The \u003cstrong\u003esplit sole\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the foot to flex and articulate more naturally, while the dedicated \u003cstrong\u003espin spot\u003c\/strong\u003e beneath the forefoot helps young dancers turn and pivot without a conventional rubber sole gripping excessively against the studio floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's plenty of protection underneath too. An \u003cstrong\u003eD.R.T cushioned heel and compression-moulded EVA sock liner\u003c\/strong\u003e help soften repeated impact, making Boost particularly useful for energetic classes involving jumps, travelling movement and longer rehearsal sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in \u003cstrong\u003earch support and elevation\u003c\/strong\u003e create a more supportive feeling through the middle of the foot, while the adjustable lacing allows the trainer to be secured comfortably around different foot shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock Boost in \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e – an easy, practical choice across a wide range of dance classes.

Their rubber soles can create too much resistance when dancers need to turn, pivot or change direction quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoost is designed differently. Its \u003cstrong\u003esplit dance sole\u003c\/strong\u003e allows greater movement through the foot, while the dedicated \u003cstrong\u003espin spot\u003c\/strong\u003e helps reduce resistance during turns. At the same time, the cushioned heel and supportive construction provide considerably more impact protection than a minimal jazz shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eFor young dancers taking energetic jazz, commercial, hip hop or mixed dance classes, this combination can make Boost a particularly useful studio trainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDance World Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't judge Boost by how stiff it looks in your hand.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a much more substantial shoe than a jazz shoe, but the split underneath is what allows the foot to articulate.
