Girls Natasha White Ballroom & Latin Competition Shoes • Lightweight Feel
Girls Natasha White Ballroom & Latin Competition Shoes • Lightweight Feel
A beautifully practical competition shoe for younger dancers, the IDS Girls Natasha combines a clean white Ballroom look with clever adjustability. Its low Cuban heel, supportive forefoot and lightweight cushioned construction make it particularly well suited to developing dancers moving through classes, medal work and Juvenile competition.
IDS Girls Natasha Personality
Polished • Adaptable • Competition-Ready • Refined
Natasha feels a little more refined and open than a traditional multi-strap girls' Ballroom shoe. The clean white upper and low Cuban heel keep the look unmistakably Juvenile, while the asymmetric forefoot and delicate crossing straps give it a lovely competition finish.
It's pretty without becoming overly decorative, exactly the sort of shoe that lets the dancer, dress and movement remain the focus.
IDS Girls Natasha Ballroom & Latin Competition Shoes – Design & Performance
The standout feature of Natasha is its adjustable front buckle. Rather than relying entirely on a fixed forefoot shape, the front can be adjusted to accommodate narrower or wider feet, making this an especially useful style for young dancers whose foot shape doesn't always suit a standard strappy shoe.
The longer fastening strap adds another level of security around the foot, while the lightweight construction keeps Natasha flexible enough for developing Ballroom and Latin technique.
Underfoot, gel padding provides lightweight cushioning through lessons, rehearsals and competition days. A traditional suede dance sole allows controlled movement across the floor, while the low 1.25" Cuban heel introduces young dancers to heeled Ballroom footwear without pushing them prematurely into an adult-style heel.

Dance World Notes
Competition polish without an adult heel.
Natasha gives young dancers the refined appearance of a dedicated Ballroom and Latin competition shoe while retaining the stability of a low 1.25" Cuban heel.
Made for younger dancers.
This isn't simply an adult dance shoe made smaller. IDS specifically builds Natasha to combine support with the flexibility required by developing dancers.
Flavia or Natasha?
Both are excellent Juvenile options. Choose Flavia when you prefer the security and feel of a multi-strap forefoot; look towards Natasha when adjustable forefoot fit is particularly important.
Dance World Fit Advice
Overall Fit
Girls Natasha fits true to size for most dancers. Start from the dancer's measured foot rather than allowing generous growing room.
Adjustable Forefoot
The front buckle can be adjusted to accommodate narrower or wider feet, making Natasha particularly useful when standard fixed straps don't sit quite correctly.
Competition Fit
The heel should remain secure and the foot should not slide significantly inside the shoe. Competition footwear needs enough security for controlled turns, direction changes and footwork.
Growing Dancers
A small amount of sensible allowance may be appropriate, but avoid buying significantly oversized Ballroom shoes simply to extend wear.
Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a starting point. Children's dance shoe fit varies with foot width, shape and stage of growth, and competition footwear should remain secure during movement.
