Dance shoes improve your ability to spin and turn as you dance.

*Outside shoes are not allowed on the dance floor. You must carry in the shoes you intend to dance in.

Heavy cotton socks or slip-over shoe covers are a suitable alternative and are available for sale in class.

Ballroom shoes with a suede or felt sole are the best option for Hand Dancing. Leather-soled shoes grip the floor and don't allow for smooth Hand Dancing.

A standard ladies' dance shoe featuring a 1 to 1.5 inches Cuban heel is a popular choice. Any heel higher than 1.5 inches could be challenging for beginners. Those who prefer a flat shoe with no heel might consider a slip-on jazz shoe.

Amazon offers a wide variety of shoes for ladies and shoes for men.

The Ballroom Latin Salsa Sneaker Dance Shoes SERO106BBX is a particular favorite practice shoe.

Another shoe to consider is a Women/Men Standard Practice Social Dance Sneaker Beginner Ballroom Dancing Shoes.

If you're not quite ready to buy dance shoes, you can buy suede stick on sheets to attach to a pair of shoes you already have.
