It is 1982 when Marcello Ruggiero decides to give voice to a dream: to create a new American-style dance center in Milan, where all souls of dance — from classical to contemporary, from jazz to hip hop — could meet, express themselves, and grow.
Thus was born California Dance Shoes, a privileged observatory for testing and creating models capable of meeting the technical and stylistic needs of both professionals and amateurs, with the collaboration of nationally and internationally renowned teachers and dancers, and maintaining continuous contact with the users.
Step by step, one walks along the streets of a new millennium. Today, in an era of great vitality, we aim to continue doing what we have always done, improving ourselves to grow and embrace new and different needs.
This is the philosophy of California Dance Shoes: a standard of quality at the right price.
