For kids to succeed at dance they need to have the proper shoes.

This list of kids ballroom dance shoes contains shoes for both boys and girls.

Ballroom Shoes for Boys

Ballroom dancers first need to decide what kind of shoes they want.

Are you looking for a shoe with a low or a higher heel? Are you looking for something that has a lot of flexibility? Are you looking for something more breathable?

When it comes to ballroom shoes for boys there aren’t quite as many different options as there are for girl’s ballroom shoes.

For girls you can find lots of different styles, materials, colors, etc.

For boys, black is the standard color and odds are the color you will always use.

Best Latin Ballroom Dance Shoes for Boys

The sole of the shoe is very important in ballroom dance. You want to make sure you are using proper dance shoes.

The most important reason for buying actual ballroom shoes and not just using any regular shoes is the bottom of the shoe. The shoe needs to have soft suede outsoles. You want the bottom of the shoe to be soft leather or suede and not a hard sole that can stick to the floor.

The suede sole will allow the dancer to easily turn on the ball of their foot, making them look like one of the professional dancers that you see on TV;)

Best Ballroom Dance Shoes for Girls

For girls there are so many more options than for boys!

Does your young dancer love shoes?

We LOVE shoes! Shoes in general are kind of a weakness of ours:)

We really love ballroom dance shoes! There are so many pretty options to choose from for girls and so many different kinds of dance shoes.

Ballroom Shoes

Ballroom dancers first need to decide what kind of shoes they want.

Would you like Latin dance shoes? Or are you looking for dance sneakers? Are you looking for character shoes?

There are lots of options!

There is a closed toe shoe on this list that would look great while doing Waltz. And when dancing Latin styles you want to have a Latin shoe.

If you’re looking for a versatile shoe that can be worn for all ballroom styles though you can’t go wrong with a Latin shoe. Especially in class or out dancing for fun. They can very easily wear Latin heels for any ballroom style and they will work great and look great!

When choosing shoes for girls there are multiple things to consider.

First do you want them to wear high heels or a low heel?

Skill level can help determine this. If they are very young or just starting out, or if they struggle with balance, you might want to start them with a low heel. A low heel will help give them better balance. However if your young dancer is advanced then they might be fine with a higher heel.

Also if you’re just starting out or if you are just dancing for fun you don’t need a super expensive pair of ballroom heels.

Best Dance Shoes

When choosing new dance shoes you also need to consider the color.

For girls, if they are competing then they need to get a nude or flesh colored shoe. Something in the brownish tan family.

However if they are social dancing or taking ballroom dance lessons you can choose any color you would like:) Ballroom dance shoes come in a variety of colors! There are some beautiful red and pink shoes for girls on this list!

Also, just as with boys dance shoes, the sole of the shoe is very important in ballroom dance. You want to make sure your dancer is using proper dance shoes. You can find split sole shoes which will aid in the flexibility of the feet, making it easier to get on the ball of the foot.

Again, the shoe needs to have soft suede outsoles. You want the bottom of the shoe to be soft leather or suede and not a hard sole that can stick to the floor.

The suede sole will allow for easy turning on the ball of the foot.

We hope that this list helps you to find the best type of shoes for your young ballroom dancer! Have fun and break a leg!
