The Ray Rose 116 Rockslide in White Satin combines specialist Ballroom support with a clean white finish suited to Ballroom, Standard, New Vogue, weddings and debutantes.

Unlike an ordinary fashion court shoe, the White Rockslide is designed for dancing. Its secure closed-toe shape, diagonal support strap, cushioned innersock, suede dance sole and stable Flared heel provide a more appropriate foundation for movement on a clean indoor dance floor.

This White Satin version is available in Normal fit, with a choice of 2-inch or 2.5-inch Flared heels.

Best For

• Ballroom, Standard and New Vogue
• DanceSport training and competition
• Brides seeking a genuine white dance shoe
• Debutantes and formal dance events
• Dancers who prefer a secure closed-toe court shoe
• Normal-width feet
• Clean indoor dance floors

A White Formal Shoe Designed for Dancing

The Rockslide provides the traditional appearance of a white satin court shoe while incorporating features intended for Ballroom movement.

Its rounded toe and V-shaped throat create a clean line across the front of the shoe. A diagonal strap crosses the foot for additional security and fastens with an ArtSport diamante buckle.

Inside, the supportive antibacterial forefoot lining, sports-grade heel support and shock-absorbing latex innersock help hold and cushion the foot. Integrated arch and metatarsal support provide additional support beneath the foot.

The suede dance sole allows controlled movement on an appropriate dance floor, while the anti-slide heel tip helps create a stable connection through the heel.

Fit

The White Rockslide is available in Normal fit.

It may suit dancers whose forefoot sits comfortably within a standard Ray Rose court-shoe fitting. Dancers who consistently require a wider fitting should contact Elite Dancer before ordering rather than increasing the shoe length solely to gain width.

For a wider Rockslide, consider the available Flesh or Light Flesh Satin versions, which include selected Wide-fit combinations.

Choose Your Heel Height

2-Inch Flared Heel

The 2-inch option provides a lower and more grounded feeling. It may suit dancers who prioritise stability, are less experienced in heels or expect to spend a long period dancing.

2.5-Inch Flared Heel

The 2.5-inch option provides additional elevation while retaining a flared heel base. It suits dancers who are comfortable controlling a higher Ballroom heel.

For weddings and debutante events, choose the height you can wear and control comfortably throughout the event rather than selecting solely for appearance.

Wedding and Debutante Use

The White Rockslide is a specialist dance shoe intended for clean indoor dance floors.

For weddings and debutante events:

• change into the shoes after arriving at the indoor venue;
• avoid wearing them across car parks, gardens, wet surfaces or rough flooring;
• confirm that the venue floor is clean and dry;
• practise in the selected heel height before the event;
• use heel protectors where appropriate;
• keep the shoes in a protective bag when they are not being worn.

The suede sole is not designed as an outdoor bridal-shoe sole.

Sizing

Ray Rose dance shoes use UK sizing.

Australian and New Zealand street-shoe conversions are approximate. Do not rely only on your normal formal-shoe or street-shoe size.

Consider:

• measured foot length;
• forefoot width;
• previous dance-shoe size;
• whether you normally require a wider fitting;
• the selected heel height;
• how securely your current shoes hold the heel.

Elite Dancer can assist with sizing before your order is placed.

Care for White Satin

Handle White Satin shoes with clean, dry hands and store them separately from dark footwear.

Wear them only on clean, dry indoor floors. Avoid grass, wet surfaces, rough concrete and outdoor paths.

Remove light surface marks carefully with a soft, barely damp white cloth. Do not soak the satin, use bleach or apply aggressive household cleaners.

Test any cleaning method on a small inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat.

Brush the suede sole only when required and fit the correct heel protectors to reduce wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the White Rockslide a proper dance shoe?

Yes. It is a specialist Ballroom dance shoe with a suede sole, supportive footbed, secure strap and dance heel rather than an ordinary fashion court shoe.

Can I wear it for a wedding reception or debutante ball?

Yes, provided the event uses a suitable clean, dry indoor floor. Practise in the shoes before the event and avoid wearing the suede soles outdoors.

Does the White Rockslide come in Wide fit?

The current White Satin version is available in Normal fit. Flesh and Light Flesh Rockslide versions offer selected Wide-fit combinations.

Should I choose the 2-inch or 2.5-inch heel?

Choose the 2-inch heel for a lower, more grounded position. Choose the 2.5-inch heel when you are comfortable controlling the additional height.

Can I wear these shoes outside for wedding photographs?

The suede dance sole is not intended for outdoor surfaces. Change into the shoes indoors or use separate outdoor footwear for photographs and travel.

How should I protect the White Satin?

Keep the shoes in a clean shoe bag, handle them with clean hands and avoid wet or dirty flooring. Remove minor marks carefully rather than soaking or scrubbing the satin.

Which accessories should I order?

Select the correct Ray Rose heel protectors for the chosen heel and add a dance-shoe brush for maintaining the suede sole.
