This version of our popular 'Bela' is designed for the popular 'Carolina Shag' style of dance which is most famous in the USA. The style of dance requires a slightly lower heel, which is why the heel available is the 1.25" Cuban heel.
Shag dancing is a lively partner dance that originated in the 1940s on the beaches of the U.S. East Coast, particularly in the Carolinas. Known for its fast footwork and smooth style, Shag remains popular across the USA, especially in competitive and social dance scenes and our collection of shoes, on that lower heel are perfect for it!
