My style of playing comes from my commitment to keep it raw, simple, passionate, pleasing to the ear and heart.

Salsa Dancing Clothes: let's start at the feet and work our way up. Comfortable dance shoes are very important. A sexy salsa dress is important for women, but we'll get to that later. Dancing involves a lot of twisting and turning of the feet, so in order to be kind to our knees and feet, we encourage dancers to wear comfortable shoes with leather or suede soles. Women generally wear high heels, a definite change from swing dancing attire. Ideally, women's shoes should have a soft, pliable sole and fit securely so that you won't have to worry about them falling off during those triple turns! Another factor that should be considered is the specific dance floor. One pair of dance shoes might be good on one floor, but not on another. If you're dancing on a floor for the first time, it doesn't hurt to bring 2 pairs of dance shoes: one that grips for a fast (slippery) dance floor, and one that easily slides for a slower (sticky) floor.
Where can you get good dance shoes? Art's Dance Shoes next to the Juanita Community Club in Kirkland is a good bet. He can create a custom pair of shoes or suggest a pair from the selection he already has on the shelf.
