1. Many men practice it

Although often associated with femininity, the Heels style is open to all. More and more male dancers are performing, often in very high heels, proving that dance is genderless. Freedom of expression is one of its fundamental pillars.

 

2. It is inspired by LGBTQ+ culture

Heels owes much to ballroom culture and styles like Vogue and Waacking, which were born to express freedom of gender and identity. It's not uncommon to see dancers of all orientations and backgrounds using it as a means of personal expression.

 

3. The walks are choreographed

In the world of Heels, every step, every look, every turn has its own intention. The "walk" is a fundamental element: it's not just about walking in heels, but doing so with intention, elegance, and personality. Every walk expresses an attitude: dominant, sensual, playful, or aggressive. Every dancer develops their own.

 

4. Not all heels are suitable

Heels dancers wear heels with a minimal platform, non-slip soles, and ankle support. Before dancing in heels, they practice technique and control barefoot or in jazz shoes to develop strength and precision. To improve their glide on floors without losing grip, some dancers use suede soles under their heels. Evening heels can put joints at risk and are not suitable for this style of dancing.
