Why Mirco & Diana Choose Anita Flavina Dance Shoes

How Amateur Dancers Mirco & Diana Found Balance On and Off the Dance Floor

Congratulations to @mirco_lufrano & @kalitv_diana on your fantastic success at the @royal_siam_cup in coming 2nd place! 

We are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved in such a short space of time. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence are shining through in every performance, and your results are truly well deserved.

Every successful dance partnership begins with trust.

For Mirco and Diana, that journey started only eight months ago, yet together they have already developed a partnership built on dedication, resilience and a shared passion for Latin dancing.

Diana, originally from Ukraine, has been dancing since she was nine years old. Their partnership began after Mirco responded to a social media post where Diana was looking for a new dance partner.

What followed was a leap of faith.

A Partnership That Started Across Continents

Their first meeting wasn't exactly perfect.

After an 18-hour journey, Diana arrived exhausted and suffering from jet lag, determined to give everything during their first practice.

Meanwhile, Mirco arrived relaxed and calm.

"I'm someone who plans every detail," Diana laughs. "Mirco is much more relaxed!"

Their first day together wasn't easy, but by the second day things began to improve. After a week of dancing together, they knew they had found the right partnership.

Their different personalities soon became one of their greatest strengths.

"I'm nervous before competitions, while Mirco stays calm. Together we create the perfect balance."

Building Confidence Through Stability

As a new partnership, every detail matters—including the shoes they trust.

Both Mirco and Diana chose Anita Flavina Dance Shoes because of the confidence they provide during demanding Latin choreography.

For Diana, stability is one of the biggest advantages.

"The heel is incredibly stable because of the metal shank inside the shoe which Anita has custom made especially for me. It gives me excellent balance and I never worry after spins or turns."

For Latin dancers, balance isn't simply about comfort—it allows complete confidence when performing fast spins, pivots and quick directional changes.

Feeling Connected to the Floor

Mirco describes one feeling above all others.

"When I wear these shoes, I feel like I have much more grip on the floor. I feel balanced and stable. I never feel like I'm falling anywhere."

That confidence allows him to focus entirely on dancing instead of thinking about his footwear.

Comfortable From Morning Until Night

Professional, Amateur and ProAm dancers often spend entire days teaching, rehearsing and training.

Comfort becomes essential.

Mirco explains:

"I can wear them the whole day during practice and they never hurt my feet. They're incredibly comfortable."

Diana agrees, adding that after only a short breaking-in period the shoes feel completely natural.

Why They Choose Anita Flavina Dance Shoes

When asked why they choose Anita Flavina Dance Shoes over other brands, both dancers answered immediately.

For Mirco:

"The wider heel gives me much better balance."

For Diana:

"They have excellent stability and heel balance. We can dance without worrying about our balance after turns."

That confidence allows both dancers to perform freely while concentrating on musicality, partnership and expression.

Built for Long Practice Sessions

Training at a competitive level means putting dance shoes through thousands of hours of practice.

Durability matters just as much as comfort.

Mirco explains that despite their intensive training schedule, his Anita Flavina Dance Shoes continue performing for around five months.

"The quality is excellent. They last a long time, even with lots of practice. We never worry about them breaking."

Premium Italian craftsmanship ensures every pair is designed to withstand the demands of daily training without compromising flexibility or comfort.

A Brand They Happily Recommend

When asked whether they would recommend Anita Flavina Dance Shoes to other dancers, their answer was unanimous.

"Of course."

"Very good brand. Very high quality."

Simple words—but powerful feedback from dancers who rely on their shoes every single day.
