1. Where to buy tango shoes
1. Newcomers often ask where to buy shoes. Besides local dance supply stores, The Dance Bag and The Glass Slipper, which sell good practice shoes, try Tango Festivals, such as Nora's Tango Week in San Francisco, or the Neo Tango Festival in Sacramento, where vendors come with a nice selection. Other buyers do well on line, and a recent "Tango-L" offered the following websites for tango shoes:
