Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ballroom dance shoes and Latin dance shoes?

In ballroom dance (waltz, foxtrot, quickstep), women wear a closed pump that holds the foot during gliding movements. In Latin, you wear an open strappy sandal, which is more flexible, to work on the ball of the foot.

What heel height is best for starting ballroom dance?

For women, a 5 to 6 cm heel is the easiest to start with. For men, the heel remains low, around 2.5 cm. See our guide high or flat heel.
