This weekend I took some time to revisit the great musical called “West Side Story“. For those who have not seen the play or movie, its plot is very similar to “Romeo and Juliet” except placed in the era of the mid-1950s during which time there was a period of migration from Puerto Rico to New York. The two lovers in the film are not only separated by race, but also by the gang violence between two feuding groups: The Sharks and The Jets. Given the popular social discussion of foreigners and immigration nowadays, I find this particular musical performance interesting as it highlights the fact that history always repeats itself and is often expressed through great art forms! For those who watch “So You Think You Can Dance“, you will notice that this was the choreography used in the audition process during what is called “Vegas Week”.

In the large spectrum of dance shoes, there is very little written about the variety of options available to men. Now that I have gone through enough salsa dance shoe phases, it is time to provide my experience and mini-reviews of the dance shoes I have worn throughout my salsa lifetime.
If you have been a long time fan of the addicted2salsa podcast, you may have noticed the original shoes that I wore for the series. Those days are gone, and so are those shoes that were given the famous name, ’salsa boots’. Here I present an overview of my dance shoe evolution throughout different stages of my salsa life.
While I know beginners are sometimes preoccupied with having a good set of dance shoes since they will help their ’salsa game’ – most of these shoes only add an incremental amount of performance enhancement compared to proper training and execution of footwork and patterns. Shoes are no replacement for real salsa dance practice.
This is the list of shoes I will be comparing in order of how I bought and used them:
- The Street Shoes
- The Bloch Sneakers
- The Jazz Shoes
- The Latin Ballroom Shoes
- The Practice Sneakers
- The “Pointy” Shoes
- The Modern Suede Shoe
Bloch is carried here as well,...
