Shoe guide
Black tap
Lace-up oxford or patent Mary Jane with a strap — either style is fine. Both have taps at the toe and heel. The strap style is easier for dancers who can't tie laces yet.

Nude jazz
Slip-on jazz shoe with elastic side panels and a low heel. Note the shade is a tan / caramel, not pale pink.
