The meagre array, several bad buys, and a lot of research brought us to the idea of starting our very own company \u2013 specializing in shoes people love to dance in!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-589500652\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1444237337\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saintsavoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rani-About-Us.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saintsavoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rani-About-Us.jpg 830w, https:\/\/www.saintsavoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rani-About-Us-683x455.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.saintsavoy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rani-About-Us-350x234.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1444237337 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h3>The Founder<\/h3>\n<p>SAINT SAVOY founder Rani-Patricia Dirnhofer ties it all together: having spent her childhood in Spain, she can easily collaborate with the shoemakers in Alicante to make her ideas come true. Her experience with different types of sport, schools of dance, and a great love for the styles of past decades has successfully been combined with the traditional expertise necessary to create perfect dance shoes.<\/p>\n<h3>Classical Designs and Modern Materials<\/h3>\n<p>Our designs are inspired by the swanky elegance of the 1920s, the buttoned-up rowdiness of the 1930s, the glorious 1940s, and all the way to the wildness of the boogie, jive, and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll in the 1950s. We use modern materials where it makes sense, for example, to protect from impact or form a softer footbed.<\/p>\n<h3>Tested by Experienced Dancers<\/h3>\n<p>Before going on the market, all Saint Savoy shoes are tested and optimized together with experienced dancers to make sure they are suited to Charleston, Jitterbug, Solo Jazz, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate and Varsity Shag, Jive, Boogie Woogie, and Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll.
