Dancing Shoes

Hi

Where can I find dancing shoes in Guangzhou? I used to buy them from LoWu shopping mall in Shenzhen but that was over 10 years ago.

Many Thanks

If you're looking for dancing shoes in Guangzhou, you have several good options depending on the style, quality, and price range you prefer. Over the past decade, Guangzhou has developed a number of specialty stores and markets catering to dance enthusiasts, similar to what LoWu Shopping Mall in Shenzhen offered in the past.

For ballroom, Latin, or professional dance shoes, your best bet is to visit stores in major shopping areas or specialty dance supply shops. Many shops also cater to ballet, jazz, and other dance forms.

  • Beijing Road Shopping Area (北京路步行街) – This busy pedestrian street has multiple shoe stores, including stores that sell ballroom and Latin dance shoes. You may need to ask around or check specialty shoe stores within larger malls.
  • Huimei Shoes Market (惠美鞋城) – Located in Yuexiu District, this market offers a variety of shoes, including dance shoes, at affordable prices. It is popular among local dance enthusiasts.
  • Yide Road Shoe Wholesale Market (一德路鞋类批发市场) – A wholesale market in Liwan District that carries a wide range of footwear. Some stores specialize in dance shoes for professional dancers.

If you prefer international or branded dance shoes, some shopping malls in Guangzhou house stores that import dance footwear or carry brands like Capezio, Bloch, or Supadance:

  • Grandview Mall (正佳广场) – Check the shoe sections for sports and dance-oriented stores; some carry imported dance shoes.
  • Taikoo Hui Mall (太古汇) – High-end mall in Tianhe District where specialty shoe stores may stock ballroom and Latin shoes.
  • Metro City (广州天汇城) – Offers stores with performance footwear suitable for various dance styles.

In addition, online platforms are increasingly popular in Guangzhou. Chinese e-commerce sites such as Taobao, JD.com, and Tmall have a wide range of dance shoes that can be shipped locally, often with customer reviews and sizing guides. This can be convenient if you are looking for specific brands or styles that may not be available in physical stores.

Lastly, if you are part of a local dance community, it’s worth asking dance instructors or clubs for recommendations, as some professional shoes are sold directly to dancers through private channels or small boutique stores not easily found by casual shoppers.
