Easy-going, comfortable and reassuringly low, the So Danca BL33 Roxanne Ballroom Dance Shoes are made for dancers who would rather enjoy the evening than think about their shoes. A long-standing social-dance favourite, BL33 combines a practical low heel with a touch of sparkle for classes, tea dances, parties and nights on the dance floor.
So Danca BL33 Roxanne Personality
Friendly • Sparkling • Traditional • Comfort-Led
Silver is unapologetically ballroom. The all-over metallic sparkle catches plenty of light and gives this very practical low-heel silhouette a brighter, more occasion-ready personality.
Black is considerably quieter and easier to pair with different outfits. The dark sparkle gives it just enough movement under the lights while retaining the classic, understated appearance many social dancers prefer.
So Danca BL33 Low Heel Ballroom Shoes – Design & Performance
The defining feature of BL33 is its 1.5" / 3.8 cm low heel. It keeps the foot relatively close to the floor and creates a stable, approachable platform for dancers who do not want the pitch of a conventional 2"–2.5" Ballroom heel.
Across the foot, a classic T-bar construction connects the forefoot to an adjustable ankle strap, helping hold the shoe securely in position during travelling steps and direction changes. The rhinestone-set buckle adds a small decorative detail without making the shoe overly dressy.
Particularly useful are the elastic gussets positioned at the sides of the forefoot. These allow extra give as the foot moves and spreads, making BL33 more accommodating through the metatarsal area than its structured appearance initially suggests.
Inside, cushioning softens the feel underfoot for longer dance sessions, while the full suede dance sole provides the controlled combination of glide and traction expected on traditional indoor Ballroom floors.

Dance World Notes
The forefoot has more give than you might expect.
Elastic gussets sit beside the toe section and allow the upper to adapt as the foot spreads. This makes BL33 particularly worth considering for dancers who find more structured Ballroom shoes restrictive across the metatarsals.
Dance World Fit Advice
Overall Fit
Start with your regular UK shoe size. BL33 is designed as a standard fit but feels comparatively forgiving through the forefoot because of its elastic side gussets.
Broader Forefeet
The elasticated gussets provide useful extra give around the metatarsals. If you are between sizes or need additional space, trying half a size larger may be more comfortable.
BL33 Fit Note
Do not judge the fit only by how spacious the front feels. The ankle and T-bar still need to hold the foot securely enough to prevent it travelling forward inside the shoe during dancing.
Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a starting point. Dance shoe fit is individual and can vary with foot width, toe shape, instep height and personal preference.
