How can I stop my dance shoes from becoming slippery?

I compete in Irish Dance at the Championship level, and have always had a problem with slippery shoes. At class, we constantly tap our soft shoes in water, but it only works for a couple minutes. Then the water dries and our shoes become slippery again. For hard shoes, some of us apply duct tape to the tips for added grip. Is there anything more permanent and invisible to use? I have a huge competition (Oireachtas) this upcoming weekend, and the stages are wooden with no black cover, so they will be slippery.
