Tips & Tricks which enabled us to walk confidently

My daughter and I had so much fun in Maribel’s class!👠👠👠 We started with a stretch and physical warm up (no heels yet) and chatted about what we wanted to achieve. Neither of us are very tall so our main objective was to be able to walk confidently in high(ish) heels. (Preferably for more than 10 minutes and without that burning feeling in the soles of our feet 🦶 ☄️🔥😖)

Maribel asked us to bring a selection of high heels. I brought several. I’d worn each pair at a different event, and although I loved the look of the shoes 😍 and kept them carefully wrapped in tissue paper afterwards, they brought back unhappy memories of crippled feet 😩 But Maribel changed that.

Several classes with her was enough to show us that it’s possible to walk in heels AND be comfortable doing it!
She gave us lots of tips and tricks which enabled us to walk confidently and even add a bit of Marilyn Monroe wiggle 😂 The dance studio venue was ideal as we could see ourselves – and our progress – in the full length mirrors. 💃 The time flew by. Now I just need to keep practicing.

I’d recommend this class to anyone who’s got a wardrobe full of beautiful high-heeled shoes that they never wear. Life’s too short to wear flats. And so am I.

Katie Flamman

I own about three pairs of heels, and I’ve probably walked in each one no more than 3 times. I’m constantly in flats, as I think most people these days are, and so the idea of teetering and tottering around a social function in anything higher than an inch makes me feel beyond apprehensive. I want to walk, not lurch from side to side like an out-of-control giraffe on stilts.

So when Maribel mentioned her ‘Walking In Heels’ class I jumped at the opportunity! (in flats obvs).

I wasn’t sure what to expect but Maribel totally put everyone at ease from the get-go, with some easy warm-up exercises and stretches (who knew walking in heels was so athletic?) set to music. She taught us everything we needed to know to glide gracefully and not stomp, showing us really easy tips and tricks to keep our collective gravities centred. In the space of four classes I went from apprehensive and all over the place, to confident and coordinated.

The real proof of the pudding was when I had two recent social engagements – a wedding and my parents’ Golden Wedding anniversary – both in heels. I felt supremely at ease walking – and standing – for significant lengths of time, my feet didn’t hurt, my back didn’t ache, and as soon as I’d got myself into Maribel’s mindset, I didn’t have to think or concentrate on what I was doing, it all came naturally.

I can’t recommend Maribel enough. She’s fun, fierce, fantastic, and she knows what she’s talking about. Whether you’ve got a business conference or wedding coming up, or you just want to learn how to walk in heels so you don’t have to stress when you do need to break them out, absolutely give her classes a go. 10/10, would thoroughly recommend

Kat Bailey

Had so much fun joining Maribel’s class. You start with a stretch and the right posture, follow by fun practice. Normally I stay in my heals 10 minutes before I go nuts and take them off. This was the first time wearing them 40 minutes, walking constantly and not even thinking of swearing at them neither wanting to take them off. Absolute magic 😂 Thank you for your wisdom Maribel ❤ Highly recommended!

The class is great fun & fantastic for learning to walk in heels but covers so much more than that! I’d highly recommended it for anyone who is contemplating it, as someone who’s always had a ‘fear’ of wearing heels it’s really helped with Maribel’s tips & tricks, now to keep practicing💃🏻😊
