Comfortable Shoes

The correct shoes are essential for salsa dancing. If you've never been in salsa before, feel free to wear sneakers or any other cozy shoes you have. When you're ready, choose suede or leather bottoms for your dancing shoes so you can pivot and turn with ease. While beginners can start with flat shoes until they gain more confidence, ladies may select low or medium heels.

Lightweight Clothing

Salsa may be exuberant and physically taxing. To stay cool and comfortable during the session, wear lightweight, breathable materials like cotton or moisture-wicking textiles.

Clothes That Allow Movement

Wear attire that allows you to move freely because salsa involves a lot of hip and body movement. A common option is a basic ensemble of leggings or comfy slacks with a fitted blouse.

Layers

If you're going to dance salsa in a studio, consider bringing layers to adjust to the temperature. You can easily remove a layer if you get too warm during the dance.

Accessories

When attending to dance salsa, wear a few accessories. Steer clear of big earrings or lengthy necklaces that could get in the way of spins and turns. It's okay to wear a bracelet or wristwatch, just make sure your partner won't get scratched.

Hair and Makeup

Tying up long hair can help keep it out of your face when dancing, for those who have it.
When it comes to cosmetics, go natural and uncomplicated. If you start to perspire in the middle of dancing salsa you wouldn't want it streaming down your face.
