I know it doesn't seem like that much of a difference but have you noticed how dancers look long and lean while weight lifters look like swollen bubbles? its because dancers do lighter weights for more reps to get strong but lean muscles.

How are dance shoes different from regular shoes?

There are many types of dance shoes, designed for a specific sort of dance. Tap shoes have metal plates on the bottom in order to make the signature tapping sound that tap dancing makes. Ballet shoes are made of flexible material so as to not restrict movement as ballet requires much flexibility in the feet. Ballet shoes are designed to eventually mold to the individual dancer's feet. Certain shoes designed for Latin dancing have heels on them to force the dancer to carry more weight on their hips. Jazz shoes are very simple, no laces or buttons, just soft, flexible material to accommodate the variation that comes with jazz dancing. The bottoms of the shoes are stronger to protect the bottom of the feet in a way the soft material couldn't.
