Go to your local dance shop and get recommendation on brands from your instructor. You definitely need to try on the shoes, which is a big reason why you should go to the dance shop. This is because your "street shoe" size may be totally different from the company's dance shoe size and you don't want to mess with shipping charges.

BTW, I also started tap last fall (do have some ballet and hip-hop experience as well)and hope to pick it back up this summer or fall. My instructor recommended the Bloch "Mary Jane" style tap shoe w/riveted taps (taps that are screwed in). So far, my pair has been working out really well. They have a good sound, are pretty comfortable, and about $50 a pair.

Good luck and have fun!

E bay

your local dance store. ask your teacher to see what type she recommends- like sneakers, or gore boots, etc.
ask the worker there what they recommend- theyll know.

I'm not sure where you live, which is probly a good thing (lol), but try Spell's or Dancer's Closet. The best two brands are Capezio, Sodonca, Block! I think that's w\how you spell them.

Have fun in class.
your b-day is the day before mine. happy birthday!

Try a local dance shop, you said that you've dance before so try the store that you usually go for shoes at. I would highly suggest that you don't buy shoes off the internet, you definatly want to be sure to find a shoe that fits you! Plus, after paying for it you want to make sure that it won't be unconfortable!
