Guess how many pairs of shoes you have worn since you started dancing

I've only been dancing for a little over 2 years and I've accumulated 8 pairs of dance shoes . . . all of which are still in use at times!

Seems like you are both new members. It is great to see new people here! We started this site in 2002, and it is a little slower than it was in the past, but maybe one day it will experience a come back. Anyways, thanks for being here. :)
 
Maybe a dozen pairs. I still remember the first one. By then I was taking ballroom group classes and the teacher was organizing a social evening for the pupils and because of the dance floor it was necessary to come with proper dance shoes and I had none, so he loaned me a pair of his. The next week at group class I went to him to give back the shoes.
"Were they ok for you?" he asked
"- Sure they were"
"Well, keep them then."
 
I started just over a year ago and I'm up to three pairs. One pair of super cheap starter shoes I wish I'd never bought, a pair of nice Latin shoes I danced into the ground and had to toss, and my current pair of Latin shoes that are well on their way to being replaced.
 
Ive been dancing 3 years and have gone through 10 possible 11 pairs of shoes. I now have a separate pair for ballroom and latin plus practice shoes which is slowing down the rate i go through them but at the start really struggled to find shoes that fitted and worked for my feet
 
on second thought I think my estimate may have been a little high. But three pairs times 24 years would be pretty close, especially if I am allowed to account Jazz sneakers and such
 
Revised figure: 44 Many were in the beginning trying to find the right fit and right style. But I must admit, I have worn most of them out. I have about 8 pair that I currently use.
 
I will glue them, tape them, hammer them, swap pieces from an old shoe, do whatever I need to do to get them to last as long as possible. I've probably had about 13 pairs (I'd guess 3 or so latin, 10 or so standard) since I started dancing 18 years ago. Currently have 3 functional pairs. At the moment, I dance only couple times a week in shoes, so they last a while.
 
About 25 pairs, including practice, competition, special performance shoes and random shoes like ballet slippers and jazz shoes.
 
I've only been dancing for 8 months and I already own 5 pairs... I have the ballroom and latin pairs that I started with but they look too gross for competition now so I had to buy comp shoes for both styles and then I have practice shoes.
