What to wear to a salsa date?
Ok, I have a blind date with a salsa maniac. Neither of us are spring chickens (ok, over 40!). I’m trained in ballet and some ballroom but not really so much salsa. What do I wear for shoes??
TIA 😉

When dancing Salsa, anything that is appropriate is welcome. However, this does change depending on the circumstance.
Scenario 1 – If partaking in a social workshop/event, trainers/sneakers are acceptable as well as heels. Just avoid tracksuits and you’ll be fine
Scenario 2 – If more formal, such as a date or formal party with the Latin theme, then for girls, heels show off how elegant you come across (just avoid the extremely thin heeled shoes as they can snap easily during salsa), and to top it off, have a dress that is comfortable, not necessary standing out. Put it this way, would you want to be uncomfortable during dancing?
For the guys, you can go two ways, either smart casual, or all out smart and formal. Suits, trousers, jeans, even ties and bowties are more than acceptable. Just remember to keep your breath fresh as you will be a close distance to each other.
Also, if I’m way too late to help out, then just remember, it’s never too late!

P.s. Do update me on how it went (even if it is 10yrs ago)
