Our recommendations for regular sneakers that are good for dancing too

Adidas Superstar dance sneakers

Best Sneakers for salsa dancing

What do we like:

  • This is a classic, Stylish, street but still elegant !
  • Lightweight
  • Excellent quality shoes
  • Can go with any outfit
  • Perfect to use in dance studio, social dancing events or casually outdoor. It provides additional mobility!
  • Comes in many models, colours and style
  • Affordable
  • Perfect for dance fitness, workout shoes, and fitness workout
  • Alternatively, we also like the Adidas Stan Smith!

 

In my experience, the Adidas superstars are the best dance sneakers for bachata dancing. I found them lightweight. It’s definitely  great feeling when I dance for hours and hours for social dancing, but don’t even realise I wear them! My favourite part is that they are timeless, always be trendy and look great. Easy to match with any outfits and I can actually spin pretty well with them!

 

Best sneakers for street dance

What do we like:

  • This is a classic in Nike, perfect for hip Hop but also used often by street salsa dancers!
  • A bit more expensive but more rare!
  • Excellent ankle support – and is more protective in case of injuries
  • They are not as lightweight as the two other shoes, but have a better durability, is good for wider feet and provide a solid grip.
  • Best shoes for hip hop dancing
  • Best salsa dance sneakers & sneakers for salsa dancing

 

I absolutely love this shoes! Every time I go dance a slower dance like Kizomba, I love wearing this Nike dance sneakers. Why? Because they are beautiful to wear. I use them lot for slower dance like kizomba because they are heavier. So if I have to dance a much faster and active dance (like salsa  dancing), I would feel the difference compare to the Adidas superstars! That’s why, when I go social dancing and it is mainly bachata and kizomba, I would wear those dance sneakers!

Nike Air Jordan

Our other recommendation for regular sneakers with the purpose of dancing

comparison between dance sneakers and regular sneakers

Stan smith are the other Adidas dance sneakers I love to use. Light, elegant and practical for dancing ! Also not compromising my French fashionable style while dancing and using supportive regular sneakers.

What are the worst Dance sneakers to dance with?

With over 20 years of dancing and more than 100 pairs of dance shoes trials, I struggle the most with the vans to dance with. They are too grippy for me, heavier than the regular sneakers above and not supportive enough or cushioned enough. They are great regular sneakers, but the worst sneakers for dance in my personal experience.

For information, I do a lot of Latin and ballroom dancing. They might be better shoes for hip hop dancers, but not for latin and ballroom dance styles (and definitely not Jazz dance!)
