    Hola a todos!

    I was wondering if anyone knows the move where the man goes down with his knee, so that it touches the floor and then rapidly comes up and continues dancing.

    Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a name or how to to this move yet. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Having danced for several months in non-salsa shoes I decided to treat myself to some gorgeous shoes. I know that that as the soles are suede they need brushing to maintain them but how often do you actually do this? I dance two - three times as a week for about three hours, would I brush them monthly, weekly, or after each session? I’m just a bit worried I might over brush them!

      I brush mine whenever I feel they’re so slippery that I can’t do shines or even my basic step properly anymore (I can’t spin yet slippery or not ;) .

      I’ve been brushing them with a heavy duty wire brush (the kind you remove rust with) for I’d say at least 3 months now, and the suede is still in good condition. I brush them on average around once or twice every time I go dancing (the shoes are a year old by the way), or sometimes I’ll go for days without having brushed them.

      So anyway, that’s my own personal experience with them…I’m kind of surprised the suede lasted as long as it has considering how hard I brush them. I used $40 men’s black leather jazz shoes, so if you’re shoes are pretty salsera shoes that weren’t cheap, you might want to be more careful with your shoes than I was with mine ;)

    Hi y’all,

    I’m a relatively new dancer who is about to dance her way out of her first pair of shoes. I’ve seen that Anthony wrote a great review of men’s shoes, but I can’t find anything similar for women. I’m a graduate student, so I need something sexy and durable but not astronomically expensive. And I would like to be able to continue dancing for many years to come, so comfort/support does matter. I’m hoping that you might be able to advise me on which brands have worked well for you and which to avoid. What experiences have you had? Come across anything particularly good or bad?

      Well it’s interesting, I just wrote a review of women’s salsa shoes and perhaps it will offer some helpful tips. You can read it on my blog at: http://blog.salsa-challenge.com/2010/03/18/womens-salsa-dance-shoe-review.aspx

      I hope this is helpful and good luck finding your dream salsa shoe!!
