About Wowdancer
Based in Somerset, but proudly serving dancers nationwide - and at times, beyond! - Wowdancer is a specialist retailer of adult social dance shoes, online and in person throughout the UK.
Founder and owner Liz, originally opened Wowdancer as a shop in Taunton, in 2005, where it ran successfully for the next 10 years. Due to high demand, Liz re-established Wowdancer in January 2025, this time selling online and at UK dance events.
Wowdancer was created by an actual dancer, who knows only too well that the perfect pair of shoes can make all the difference. This is why Wowdancer has a very carefully selected collection of quality dance shoes, trainers, sandals and boots to suit every dancer and every style of social dance. Many Wowdancer styles offer a choice of colours, heel heights and width fitting, making it easy to find a pair that's perfectly you!
You also find Wowdancer on the road throughout the year, bringing their pop-up dance shoe shop to events. It's a rare and special opportunity to browse the collection, try before you buy, and receive friendly expert advice in person. Check out our event appearances.
Wowdancer is proud to be trusted by dancers, dance teachers and event organisers across the UK, and to be the only dance retailer in the UK to stock the FULL range of Fuego dance shoes.

A word from Liz...
Dance shoes morning, noon and night (especially!) I fear I may have a slight addiction to dance shoes! In all honesty (and I am super honest as my friends and customers will know), I just absolutely love retail, and problem solving for customers. I love nothing more than when someone sets me a challenge, style, colour or heel height wise!
I spend much time researching, looking at people's shoes at dances (sad I know 🤦♀️) and speaking to dancers to suss out what I need to stock and what the next big thing is, all of which I love doing, so you can be assured I will be selling you not just any old shoe, but the very shoe in the very fit that you need.
Dancing and shoes are absolutely my Wow Passion and I love and am so proud of my little business, and so grateful to the friends who help me along the way 💖
