ACCESSORIES 91

Beginning dancers, dancers and their parents and guardians looking for appropriate accessories should visit professional dance shops. Basic accessories include: a bag for dance shoes (must be airy), a brush for cleaning the soles of such shoes, heel covers for women's shoes. When traveling to competitions, dance tournaments, a professional cover for women's or men's costumes is needed. As the level of dance increases, appropriate cosmetics and covers, e.g. for tailcoat accessories, are needed.

Many comments from professional dancers have led to the production of accessories that uniquely meet the expectations of users in the ballroom dance discipline. Costume covers are different depending on the type of costume they are intended for: a large dress for standard dances, a tailcoat with a long "tail" or a first step dress. They all have a special tightened loop for hanger hooks, preventing the hanger from "falling" into the cover, they have handles, straps that allow you to carry the cover on your shoulder. The shoe brush with a sharp wire is secured with a flap so as not to damage the costumes in the bag. Wika patented such a solution in 2002. More information in the About us tab.

Cosmetics used by dancers differ from everyday cosmetics in that they are resistant to dirt and run-off. The goal is for the dancer's body to look tanned, but during dancing, movement or shows when we can sweat, the bronzer used cannot run off and create streaks on the body and additionally, to minimally stain the dance costume.

Silicone heel protectors have several uses.

1. Protects heel tips from abrasion

2. Protects dance floor from scratching with sharp tips

3. Cushions the impact of the heel on the dance floor

4. Protects against slipping
