BEFORE placing an order, I HIGHLY recommend contacting me using the form BELOW to ensure your team shoe is in stock. Manufacturers are experiencing serious supply-chain issues, which are delaying shipments. Backorders that usually take 4-6 weeks are now 6-8 weeks, at best.
Specializing in Team Sales
As the founder of Discount Salsa Shoes, I have participated in and danced with many teams, giving me insight into the hurdles teams face… For example, finding a shoe that everyone can LIVE with…not necessarily a shoe everyone loves, can be challenging. Unfortunately, the “perfect” shoe for one dancer can be a nightmare for another.
This page is designed to help you and your team make the BEST choice so your performance is a success!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEAM SHOE?
STRAPS
I’m starting with straps because they are one of the largest factors in how a shoe fits. If your team doesn’t have a preference, a T-strap or a Low-Crossing strap is recommended.
Also, look for a shoe that COVERS the toes. If your team likes the strappy look, more straps will help keep the toes in the shoe.
SHOE BEST FOR PERFORMING
Have you ever watched a performance and all you could see were the dancers’ shoes? As much as we’d like our feet to stand out, as a performer, do you prefer the audience staring at your feet or your performance?
Outfits should complement a performance…not BE the performance. As fun as it is to bling out your shoes or choose crazy colors, keep it to a minimum. For most costumes, the tans and blacks are the best choice. Tans will also elongate a woman’s legs, giving dancers more extension. If your team prefers crystals, the Very Fine Crystal Collection gives just the right amount of flare without taking away from your performance.
HEELS
Stilettos are gorgeous, but unless you’re a professional, we recommend sticking with the basics of either a 2.5″ heel or a 3″ heel. The 2.5″ heel is thicker and sturdier, which is best for most student teams.
CHECK STOCK FIRST
