what your wedding dance teacher wishes you knew about your shoes 🤍

Here's the thing about most wedding heels: they're built to be photographed, not moved in. Ours are the opposite — beautiful heels engineered like a professional DANCE shoe, so you can actually dance from the aisle to the afterparty.

Amazing wedding dance instructor @lessonswithvanessa breaks down the three things she wishes every bride knew before picking a shoe: flexibility, real support, and cushion that carries you to the last song.

Flexible sole that moves with you. Arch support and dense memory foam so your feet don't quit at 10pm. Buttery premium leather, handmade in Portugal, with your choice of suede or street sole for spins that actually spin.

Shop the pair she's dancing in at LunaSolDance.com

P.S. — @lessonswithvanessa's got you $50 off with code LESSONSWITHVANESSA50 🤍

These boots were made for wedding! What a fun addition to Clara Grace’s bridal look and they’re even more special because the boot company @mironcrosby is owned by her cousins!
