How to choose a comfortable Latin dance shoe

  • The heel: 5 to 7 cm to start, higher once balance is mastered. A flared heel is more stable than a thin heel.
  • The straps: an ankle strap and straps across the forefoot prevent the foot from slipping during turns.
  • The sole: a suede sole allows you to pivot without catching. It is reserved for the dance studio.
  • The material: satin and sequins for the stage, soft materials for dancing for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

What heel height for starting Latin dance?

Between 5 and 7 cm. It's enough to have the right posture without losing balance. If you dance long evenings, a small heel remains the most comfortable solution.

Can you wear your Latin dance shoes outside?

No. The suede sole gets damaged and dirty on the asphalt, then it doesn't glide well. Put them on when arriving at the class or the party.

Latin dance shoe or salsa shoe: what's the difference?

It's the same family: open strappy sandals with a dance sole. Salsa, bachata and cha-cha-cha are danced with the same shoes.

What should I look for in Latin dance sandals?

Look for an ankle strap and straps across the forefoot to keep the foot in place during turns, a suede sole that lets you pivot, and a heel height you feel steady in. A flared heel is more stable than a thin one.
