Dance Shoes Company
This will depend on what type of dancing you do, hence it is best asking your dance instructor for their recommendation.

How do I measure height using a Clinometer?

How do I measure my floor-to-floor height?

Frequently asked questions about our spiral stairs

But why can't the Naxo just have some extra height on the heel lift?

Naxo ski binding randonnee FAQ tips tricks Naxo info
Explained to me by the powers that be: The ethos of the Naxo is to make no compromises for downhill performance. To that end, the Naxo touring latch/lift is designed to absolutely not flip to touring mode while downhill skiing. The longer the lift/lever is, the more easily this can happen -- thus, the Naxo has a shorter lift/lever. See similar questions...

Take the straw and draw a mark around the middle of it. Now, measure down from your line 45, 50, and 55 mm and make marks at each increment. See similar questions...

Do you play heel up or heel down?

Welcome to DerekRoddy.com
I play the exact opposite of heel down. Flat footed and keeping the ball of my foot on the pedal at all times, I get the beater to the head by lifting my heel up and down from the hip. Very little motion comes from the hip but that's were the power is. (A lot of you probably do this while at the diner table etc...).
