Avoid stilettos or "slip-on" heels that might fly off mid-turn.Dance Sneakers: Brands like Fuegos are popular because they look like street shoes but are designed to spin.For the Gentlemen:Dress shoes: Leather-soled oxfords or loafers are perfect because they slide easily.Minimalist Sneakers: Look for shoes with a worn-down, flatter tread rather than deep, "toothy" grips.Overall rule of thumb for shoes: Wear something comfortable that stays securely on the foot and has a relatively smooth bottom. If you can pivot on the ball of your foot on a kitchen floor without getting stuck, you are good to go!Ready to dance?
