Hello, my name is Jorday Rivera, and I am an expert in salsa. I own two dance studios
in Queens, New York. We're going to be learning a progression of salsa moves so we can actually
go out, practice, take it to the clubs, take it to a party, and you can show off all the
great moves you learned. The perfect dance shoes for salsa are definitely heels. I think
every woman should learn with proper dance shoes. Something like this, is beautiful and
they're comfortable, or you may want to do something more basic. But if you look, they're
very flexible, you can pretty much point your toes, you can arch. It also gives you a nicer
shape, um, to your body, your legs look better when you are dancing. They're very light on
your feet um, and I really believe that you should practice in dance with the shoes from
the very beginning, especially as a female. Who wants to dance with flats? I don't know
what girl wants to go out with flats or sneakers to a nightclub or to any social event. So
if you don't start with dance shoes, it's almost like learning everything all over again
because it's definitely a different feeling when you're in shoes and heels and when you're
in flats. Men should definitely wear some kind of, like, dress shoe, if they're not
really wearing actual dance shoes. You can find regular, they do have jazz shoes, they
do have shoes specially made and designed for men to dance in. They're light also, the√Ω're
flexible. But if you don't want to purchase a pair of shoes, then I recommend you wear
like a light pair of dress shoes, no boots, no heavy sneakers. Definitely something that
has a slippery sole on the bottom, bottom of the sole, so you could, um, be lighter
on your feet, and more graceful.
