CLUES WHEN SELECTING A DANCE SHOE
If you are a beginner I would recommend a closed toe or peep-toe model with a 5cm or 6.5 cm high heel. As you gain experience in dance and learn to maintain your balance you may choose to wear 7.5 cm or 10 cm high heels. You shoe should not be too tight or loose and arch of your feet should fit in the sole of the shoe. Especially in Tango high heels may be recommended to encourage the close dance style that is called “Milonguera Style”. In salsa heel height should not exceed 6.5cm in the beginning and after. Naturally heel height is a personal preference. Both in Tango and in Salsa you may enjoy dancing with low or high heels with equal pleasure. You may benefit having a couple of pairs of dance shoes in your wardrobe. For your comfort change your shoes in a dance night at least once.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EVERYDAY SHOE AND A DANCE SHOE
The main difference is the sole of the shoe. The material used for the soles of an everyday shoe is either stout leather or synthetic material or rubber. Neither of these is suitable for you on the dance floor. Either your rubber sole will stick on the floor or your leather sole will make you slip and cause you to lose your balance. This is why soles of dance shoes are made out of special material, generally of suede leather to slightly glide and help you move smoothly on the parquet floor but not too much.
Another important point to consider is the flexibility of your dance shoes. A properly selected dance shoe should envelope your feet like a glove; not too tight, not too loose but snugly fit. That is why sometimes flexible bands or double straps are used in certain models for you to feel more comfortable. Actually a proper dance shoe should have a closed heel for you to be able to have a better balance control and improved dance performance.

WHOEVER NEEDS A PAIR OF DANCE SHOES?
By definition, every dancer, beginner or professional, needs to have a couple of pairs of proper dance shoes to maintain balance and to have a better performance on thedance floor. There are a couple of alternatives for you.
