Character shoes are one of the few shoes that cross multiple syllabuses and dance styles, which makes getting the right pair more important than it might first appear. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range for RAD ballet exams, character class and stage performance, with styles suited to folk dancing, Greek dancing, social dancing, ballroom and syllabus work. We supply character shoes for girls, boys, women and men to dancers, teachers, schools and studios across Australia.
Flat heel character shoes suit younger grades and beginners working through early RAD syllabus levels. Cuban heel character shoes are required for higher grades and performance, giving a stronger posture line and the look the syllabus demands. Both styles typically feature canvas uppers and suede soles, which support flexibility, comfort and correct movement during class, exams and performance.
Beyond RAD work, character shoes are widely used for folk dancing, Greek and cultural dance, ballroom, and social dance syllabuses. The flat heel and Cuban heel styles cover the footwear requirements across most of these disciplines, making character shoes one of the most versatile specialist shoes in the Dance Direct range.
Character shoes span more disciplines than almost any other specialist shoe we stock, and our team in Maroubra knows the requirements for each one. Our range covers girls, boys, women and men with flat heel and Cuban heel options from trusted dance brands. Shop online with fast delivery nationwide or come in and we will make sure you leave with the right shoe for the right syllabus.
Character shoes are commonly worn with dance tights and legwear and dancewear for RAD exams, character class and stage performances.
