As an adult dancer, especially if you're beginning your journey into this art form I will forever be the first person to tell you to NOT purchase the most expensive shoes. That should be a reward that look forward to if you decide that dance is something you want to do longterm either as a hobbiest or a professional.

After looking at options these are the shoes that I would recommend. If you want more info - let me know!
