Salsa Shoes Need a Leather or Suede Sole For beginners, the slipperiness of a leather sole can take a bit of getting used to. Some early dancers wear slightly scored leather soles to provide a small amount of traction while they're learning. You don't want too much traction though.

As well, what shoes should I wear for salsa lessons? Simply choose a pair of suitable shoes with smooth or leather soles which will stay firmly on your feet. Flying footwear never looks good on the dance floor, so mules, flip flops and sling backs are definite no no's, as are any shoes with a heel of more than 2.5″.

You can wear whatever is your style; no one is going to throw you out of the club. That being said, I personally think pajamas and fitness wear are not okay for salsa night. Ladies can wear pretty dresses, skirts, jeans, t – shirt, blouses, shorts, pants and so much more.
The reason is simple—dance shoes are made specifically to be comfortable and functional. ... They make some of the most comfortable dance shoes, making them an ideal choice for hobbyists and professionals alike, but Burju also offers a great selection of fashion shoes that can be worn every day.
There is no reason you can't practice salsa without a partner. In fact, it's one of the best ways to get better at salsa dancing. Yes, salsa is a partner dance, but you absolutely must be able to hold your own if you want to have fun, free your mind and be in the moment.
