Designed with So Danca's \u003cstrong\u003eDuo Sole\u003c\/strong\u003e, they combine suede with a rubber insert to create a little more traction and stability while preserving the smooth movement dancers need for turns, pivots and travelling across the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightweight, flexible and comfortably low-heeled, BL302 is designed for regular practice, teaching and social dancing. The lace-up upper keeps the foot secure, while breathable panels and a stable 1.5\" heel make it particularly practical for longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo Danca BL302 Jive Personality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible • Grounded • Contemporary • Versatile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBL302 feels more contemporary than the classic leather Oxford-style practice shoe, but underneath the modern styling is a very practical dance design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low, broad heel keeps the dancer comfortably grounded, while the lace-up fit and hybrid sole give the shoe a secure, controlled character.

You still have a sole designed for Ballroom and Latin movement, but with a more planted sensation underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1.5\" \/ approx. 3.8 cm wide-based heel\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a stable working height for long practice sessions, while the lace-up front lets dancers adjust the fit securely through the instep. Flexible construction through the arch allows the shoe to move naturally with the foot rather than feeling like a conventional trainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreathable mesh panels are incorporated into the upper for additional ventilation. Materials vary by colourway: \u003cstrong\u003eBlack combines canvas and mesh, Hot Pink\/Black uses man-made leather with mesh, while the Leopard print combines satin and mesh.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo Danca BL302 Jive Technical Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #FBFBFB;
