Choose a pair that allows you to perform the right movements while maintaining your heel. Your shoes will decide your mobility. Dance shoes are lighter and more flexible than dress shoes, and with their suede or leather soles, they are ideal for performing movements on wooden or smooth floors. Be careful, do not take this type of shoes to go dancing in a nightclub, you risk damaging them. You have to adapt your shoe to your dancing style so as not to be slowed down in your movements.

Be comfortable! Indeed, it is very important to take the adjusted size. Dance shoes fit like dress shoes, however if you have a wide foot, for example, it is necessary to take a half size above, in order to be completely comfortable. If your shoes are too tight, your feet will hurt a lot, which is not ideal for igniting the dance floor all night long. Choosing the Quality Ballroom and Latin Dance Shoes is the best choice now.

Choose the right heel height. Latin dance and ballroom dancing shoes usually have heels that are 3-8 cm in height. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to opt for smaller heels because dancing in high heels takes practice and therefore experience. However, it is recommended to have heels between 6 and 7 cm in height, in order to have the right balance and the right posture. For men, the heel will be much smaller, it's even a heel. Avoid stiletto heels, they will not be good for your balance and your comfort. If, however, you are not at all comfortable in heels (even if they are low) you can opt for dance sneakers. They are flat but the sole is slightly raised.

Things to avoid

Of course, dancing is a sport. And like any sport, there are some things not to do, and you need the right equipment. If you play tennis with a badminton racket you won't win the game. Well with the wrong dancing shoes, you won't be dancing for long.

There are some very basic things that you should avoid

First of all, you should not wear shoes that are too big or too loose. If you do, your ankle will not be well supported and you may injure yourself because you will not have stability. But a shoe that's too small or too tight can also be risky, as you'll have severe pain in your heel and arch.
