Well THAT happened quickly!

In November I bought new So Danca slippers because I just couldn't deal with the Capezio Hanamis anymore.

Today, as I put my shoes on for my third virtual class, I noticed one of them had developed a tiny hole in the toe. I thought that was kinda fast, as I missed some classes in December and January, and didn't take any classes in March.

During class it felt like the hole had gotten bigger. I was right:


I think I still have the original box these came in, so I'll try to order some online. Until then I think I've found a suitable use for my Hanamis.

The room where I'm doing the virtual classes has a Pergo (a synthetic laminate) floor. My best guess is that there's a slight, sharp ridge between two of the boards, and I'm scraping my toes across it when I do rond de jambes.

I've heard that PVC shower pan liner makes an acceptable floor covering for dancing. I might venture out tomorrow and grab some. I'll post an update next week on how well this works.
