Our preferred shoes for Ballet are MDM Dancewear which can be fitted and purchased from Attitude Australia. MDM shoes are compulsory for exams. Why, you ask? Because is the best dance foot ware available. MDM shoes are designed with the dancer in mind – the shoes function as a training aid to assist in correcting pronation and alignment through proprioceptive feedback, provide shock absorption, reduce fatigue and improve recovery, with the arch support provided by the Dance Base Support, assist the development of the intrinsic muscle activation in the feet, alleviate pressure on the back of the heel, which can lead to inflammation of the bursa and consequently the achilles tendon.
