Looking to step up your dance game? **WELLP
I'm now the proud sponsor for TWO different Dance Shoe companies. IF you're looking for some of the well known "Fuego's" 🔥 the code is the same <TREVORT10> OR CLICK THIS LINK- 
 Fuego Dance Shoes 10% Off

*IF you've tried the Fuegos and you've determined they're "just not for me" Well perhaps try out this NEW dance shoe, "PULSE"
I've just received my first pair and while they look very similar to the fuegos, all white, and having the same "pivot points" underneath, there are a few things to mention: 
~The pivot points are actually built into the sole of the shoe, so they cannot come out or break off. 
~ The sole is slightly thicker and materials inside the shoe seem to be a little more of an upgrade for comfort, allowing your foot to breathe a little better and not get super sweaty inside. 
Here's the big one- IF you're in need of a more "wide" type of dance shoe, these are built more for you. These shoes are slightly wider to allow for more comfort! 
If you'd like more information or you're interested in checking them out, here's the link to their site. Pulse Dance Shoes

They do have a 4th of July sale going on at the moment until Wednesday 7/9. OF course I have a coupon code for you to save an additional 10% off 
Code = <TREVOR>
