Dorimar grew up on the island of Puerto Rico, where dance became her passion at a very early age. She continued her dance training and professional career in New York, before moving to Las Vegas, where she has spent the last nine years as a respected choreographer and dancer. Dorimar’s great range of expertise and experience have lead her to create a shoe that encompasses that diversity. The Dori Shoe personifies the mixes of culture and dance styles that have made Dorimar the performer she is today. After years of having professional shoemakers tell her that her shoe design was impossible, Dorimar figured out a way to hand-make a few pairs of shoes in 2007. Those first few pairs were soon found on stage in a European-style cabaret show at CatHouse, in the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. By 2009, Dori Shoes could be found in three shows on the Las Vegas strip. Now, they are finally being manufactured for dancers everywhere.

“After 22 years on her heels as well as her toes, Dori has developed her own dance shoe, a combo ballet pointe shoe and high heel she calls the Dori Shoe, which allows dancers to mash up movement styles.” – Las Vegas Weekly
