How to Create Tap Shoes for a Toddler
If you have a budding dancer who would love to try tap dancing but you don't want to purchase expensive tap shoes, it's possible to provide tap shoes for a little dancer, inexpensively.
This may be a good idea if you are not sure whether your child is really serious about wanting to dance. You could make a pair of tap shoes out of an inexpensive pair of croc shoes and let them experiment to see whether tap dancing is something they want to pursue.
