Once you break it in after a few wears and maybe even a wash for some, you will need to start using a traction refresher where you want to KEEP the traction. Many dancers use a regular rock or spray rosin, or even hairspray, but the recommended refresher is E6000 Spray Adhesive that you can buy on our site, Amazon, or in any craft store.
