Social dance shoes for ballroom, Latin and salsa

Social dance shoes are built for movement that street shoes and casual heels simply cannot support. The suede sole allows smooth turns and controlled slides across the floor without the grip that ruins footwork. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of social dance shoes for ballroom, Latin, salsa, tango and social dancing, with styles to suit every level from recreational to performance.

Closed toe and open toe social dance shoes

Closed toe social dance shoes give more coverage and suit cooler environments, beginner dancers and those who prefer a more secure fit around the toes. Open toe styles are popular for Latin and salsa, giving a lighter look and feel that suits warmer performance environments and more advanced footwork. Both styles are available across a range of heel heights to suit different dance styles and comfort levels.

Dance heels for social and ballroom dancing

Heel height in a social dance shoe affects posture, balance and the feel of the movement. A lower heel suits beginners and social dancing where comfort through a long evening matters. Mid and higher heels are used for Latin and performance work where the line of the leg is part of the presentation. Dance Direct stocks a range of heel heights so you can match the shoe to the dance and the occasion.
