Our Journey

**OUR JOURNEY**

Paso de Fuego / Galupi Tango Dance Shoes

Elevating Dance with Precision Engineering

Step into the world of Paso de Fuego / Galupi Tango Dance Shoes, where dance meets engineering prowess. As a dancer and engineer, I embarked on a mission to redefine the very essence of dancing shoes. No longer satisfied with the standard response, “Dancing shoes are for dancing,” I sought to create a harmonious fusion of comfort, style, and functionality.

Fifteen years ago, I began my journey, armed with curiosity and the invaluable insights of dancers who graced my shop. Their longing for unparalleled comfort and seamless spins became my muse. Yet, it wasn’t until I immersed myself in the tango’s embrace that the true story of dance shoes began to unfold.

Diversity lies in the details – the elegance of the narrow and the majesty of the wide, the struggle of a Hallux Valgus, and the quest for perfect moves. With every backward step in tango, a revelation unfolded – women’s shoes demanded a design woven from the threads of precision and innovation.

In 2008, as a trailblazer, I introduced pioneering padded dancing shoes, a cushioned haven for dancers seeking solace in motion. But our journey didn’t stop there. It was an odyssey of crafting perfection, one step at a time.

Unlike the crowd, we dared to blend design and production, nurturing our creations under a single roof. Our artisans, each with over two decades of experience, sculpt dreams from leather – from intricate cutting to meticulous stitching, culminating in exquisite dance companions.

Our tapestry of offerings is as diverse as the dancers we serve. Beyond our classic line, bespoke creations come to life, embracing the contours of individual feet and desires.

For our leading ladies, our heels stand as sentinels of grace, ranging from 4.5cm to 8cm. Beyond convention, custom heel heights dance upon request, united with an array of soles.

But let’s not forget the men who waltz with passion. Our men’s collection enthralls with dance sneakers, sumptuous suede, and luxurious Napa leather.

Echoes of satisfaction resonate from our cherished customers, whose stories etch the heart of our journey. As shared by Ms. Marte I. (04.11.19), “The wide fit is perfect for my feet. My toes are very happy :-). I danced several hours on several nights with the shoes. The padding is really great for my feet.”

In the tapestry of dance, I stand as Junaid Hameed, Designer and Owner, sculpting dreams for dancers who dare to tread. Together, let’s script a story where engineering and art entwine, and every step becomes an exquisite expression of the heart’s desire.
