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.

What should I look for in bachata dancing shoes?

Look for a heel of 5 to 7 cm that feels stable, an ankle strap that keeps your foot secure during waves and turns, and a suede sole that glides without slipping. Choose a heel height you feel comfortable in, since steady footing matters more than height.
