new dancing shoes

So today I finally decided to try a pair of "dance workout shoes" instead of the trainers I have been wearing, in hopes of looking like slightly more competent dancer. I buy a very fab pair of Bloch shoes at the dance store..Bloch is one of the premier brands of dance shoes in America, so I am dancing in the real deal. I admire how my ankles look in my new shoes ( they are definitely my finest feature). But when I hit the dance floor at Louis Van Amstel's cardio ballroom class. I almost hit the dance floor. Apparently I am wearing some sort of shoe skate. I slid about the floor, cursing and flailing, barely managing to walk through the choreography. One of the more exerperienced girls takes pity on me and explains that the soles of my new shoes need to be broken in, and that I should go walk a mile on pavement. If I needed to walk a mile on pavement, I wouldnt have paid twenty bucks for the class. But all that sliding and cursing works up a definite sweat.not to mentipn the muscle tension exerting trying to hold myself upright. I'll walk on pavement tomorrow.
