Heels

Want to tell others?

In the heels classes, you learn how to dance in heels naturally and with confidence!

We get to know the basics of heels techniques, such as walking and turns. After the warm-up, we go through different technical elements in the form of walking and cross-floor exercises. At the end of the class, we focus on a choreography.

You do not need to have previous experience of dancing in high heels to join. Please bring your own dance heels to the class. However, you can also participate without heels, if you wish.

For heel classes, we recommend high heels that support your ankles. The thin but snug sole of the shoe allows the foot and ankle to be used, so do not go for a thick platform sole. The sole of a Salsa or Latin shoe is already a little too flexible, which means that the toe of the sole can easily bend under the toes in floor techniques. The Heels technique is best achieved with a thin stiletto heel, but you can definitely start with a thicker heel as well.

Here is an example of what kind of shoes are suitable for the Heels classes:

However, do not stress about the shoes! You can participate in the beginners’ classes with almost any high heels, as long as they are comfortable and have intact heel tabs.
