Why choose specific sneakers for beginner Latin dance?

The challenges of the first pair
If you start, you could say to yourself: "Classic sneakers will do the trick!" Frequent error: Dancing salsa or bachata on a smooth soil requires a rare alliance of flexibility and catchphrase. Latin dance sneakers are designed to marry each of your movements: fine and slippery sole but not too much, lightness, good foot support. Result: you take advantage of the courses without pain, without fear of sliding or exhausting yourself.
- Avoid running shoes: too thick, they bother the pivots.
- Favor the lightness to keep the rebound in the leg.
- A slightly swivel sole (not completely smooth or too notched) is ideal!
Why stability and security are essential
You've surely already seen dancers hesitate or lose your balance during a tour: in 80 % of cases, it's the wrong choice of shoes! Latin dance sneakers for beginners provide real support to ankle. Stability is your safety net to oscillate the soil in all insurance!
- Mousse and lateral reinforcements reassure when you practice the fast salsa towers.
- A low heel, almost flat, promotes a healthy posture and a well -aligned vertical axis.
Comfort in the dance department

Listen to your foot, he will thank you!
Comfort must be your priority. A happy foot is a happy dancer! To avoid bulbs, warm -ups or pain, favors Latin dance sneakers with a soft interior, a shape that takes into account the arch, and a breathability adapted to the long practice sessions.
- Choose an adjusted size: neither too tight nor too large.

- Risely seamless inside: avoids unpleasant surprises the day after an intensive course!
The importance of flexibility to progress
Nothing is more frustrating than feeling your feet blocked during a swaying of Bachata or a movement of salsa! The flexibility of the sole will allow your toes to marry the floor, facilitating leg games and the rhythmic rebound specific to Latin dances. It's like sliding on a cloud while keeping a good support.
- Lifts the shoe: it must be able to fold at the base of the toes easily.
- The thicker and rigid sole, the less you feel the ground: to avoid for the beginner Latin dance!
Choose the right sole to dance salsa & bachata

Smooth, suede sole? Crucial differences
For Latin dance, the sole makes all the difference. Rubber sole? No, unless it is specially designed for rotation and slide. The suede sole remains the favorite of professionals on parquet because it allows soft and precise pivots. In Paris, the floors vary: always inquire on the floor of your school!
- On parquet or lino, suede or a fine and worked eraser offer perfect control.
- Avoid the too notched soles that "hang" and tire the joint.
Zoom on the insole to amortize shocks
Some Latin dance sneakers offer an inner foam sole to absorb the impacts during energetic jumps or trips. Favor this technology if you know that you will dance for a long time.
- For dynamic dances like Puerto Rican salsa, cushioning is a real plus.
- On a hard ground, it protects the knee and back over the hours.
