I've tried dancing in wraps/tall moccasins a couple of times and don't recommend it. No matter how well you think you have tied them on, they always loosen or come undone. Plus, you don't get the same ankle flexibility as you would get with separate mocs and leggings. The only way I'd wear tall moccasins for shawl dancing would be if the legging parts had enough stiffness to stand up by themselves.
