The Salsa Shoe
By Evan Margolin
If you are considering salsa dancing as a hobby sport there are tons of local dance schools in your area that offers salsa dance classes. But if you have decided that this is going to be your leisurely past-time hobby, you need to make sure you invest in the right pair of salsa shoes.
Sure you could try wearing a pair of running shoes but most likely the rubber on the bottoms will not allow your feet to smoothly move across the dance floor but also most dance studios only allow certain types of materials to touch their floors in order to avoid damage or scuffing of their floor area.
Need to find the right salsa dance shoe? Than follow these salsa dance shoe tips:
Thin suede or leather shoes are highly recommended as these allow the feet to breathe but also allow the feet to move around freely within the shoe for comfortable transitions in movement. Although when you do begin dancing, you can start with any type of shoe with these characteristics (soft, comfortable leather). Once you begin salsa dancing on a regular basis, you'll have to invest in a good pair of salsa shoes.
The Salsa Shoe:
Salsa shoes come in various styles and colors for both men and women. Most salsa shoe styles worn by famous salsa dancers are chosen to match a particular outfit. But if you are just taking up salsa dancing as a hobby you will only need to choose a shoe that's comfortable so that you can wear them for your dance lessons.
But regardless of what salsa shoe style you choose, the fit and function of your shoe is essential.
Salsa shoes fit a bit more snuggly than other shoes. Made of leather, salsa shoes hug the feet but should not pinch or cause discomfort for the wearer. The shoe should fit as firmly as possible – hugging the natural contours of the foot. A good salsa shoe should fit as close as possible to the foot. If the feet are moving around in your shoes, this could lead to lack of control during dance but also may lead to injury. If your shoe is a bit loose, consider a smaller size. Your heel should completely hug the back of the shoe cup in order to maintain balance and poise.
So, get on those dancing shoes and begin your salsa dance lessons. Oh, but I forgot to mention, if you don't have a salsa dance school near you or you'd rather learn and practice your salsa moves in the comfort of your own home, than check out www.salsadancedvd.com where you'll get expert instruction and spend a fraction of what you'd pay taking local lessons.
