Frequently asked questions

What shoes should I wear to dance bachata?

Flexible sandals with a moderate heel of 5 to 7 cm and a pivoting dance sole. See how they differ from salsa shoes: bachata or salsa.

Can you dance bachata in sneakers?

For your first few lessons, yes, as long as the sole doesn't catch too much. Once you start working on turns and hip movements, a dance sole makes pivoting easier and protects your knees.
