How are ballroom dancing shoes different from regular high heels? Is there any real distinction between official "ballroom dancing" shoes and your standard high-heeled dress sandal? I know that they are different, but I'm wondering what makes them so special that people go to dance stores to buy ballroom dancing shoes. My interest was piqued by my own sorry-looking high-heeled sandals. I'm going to a dance in April (for the first time - and to actually dance!) and my shoes are pretty flimsy. I'm wondering if they fall so short of dancing shoes that I'll need to buy a new pair.

What do you think about ballroom dancing nowadays? I can't dance to save my life, plain and simple. Or maybe I just allow myself to believe that. I once embarrassed myself in elementary school at the prom and never danced again. My girlfriend on the other hand, loves to dance. Mostly the bump n grind type of stuff, but also slow dancing. I never want to go on the dance floor with her because she wants to push me to do dances and stuff that I never tried before where people look at me funny and it gets her kinda sad that I don't want to dance. Now, she wants to go to the homecoming dance at my college and I've been secretly taking ballroom dancing classes that are being offered here. I know it's not the same as grinding on each other and everything but I figure there will be at least one slow song to dance too. But I also wanted to know what people think about ballroom dancing nowadays. Is it enjoyable still, and do you think my girlfriend will be happy to see that I'm finally not being a wall flower and actually pulling her to dance?
