As a beginner salsa dancer most floors you are
taught on are wooden floors. Please make sure that you don’t wear shoes that
have alot of grip on the soles of shoes, like trainers or runners. I say this
for safety reasons. Shoes that grip the dance floor too much can restrict
movement and also put pressure on your knees when you are dancing your salsa
steps. The last thing you want is to sustain any injury. On the flip side there
could be dance floors that are as slippery as a skating rink. A nice pair of
leather shoes for men starting out. Make sure the soles don’t grip. I recommend
a leather sole shoes. For ladies again, comfortable shoes not too high – a two
inch cuban heel shoes are perfect. As you progress with your salsa dancing you
can invest in the some of the different type of salsa dancing shoes that are
available for men and women.
