In Episode 220 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we devote a full episode to the conversation that seems to never end in the competitive dance world - to wear two shoes, one shoe, or no shoes? Our IDA judges chime in with their thoughts and we (try to) look at the opposing point of view!



Topics Include:

  •  The variety of reasons to wear two shoes
  •  Why dancing barefoot can be beneficial
  •  A few arguments for wearing one shoe
