Dance sneakers for zumba class

I love dance sneakers for dancing swing and for practicing tango, but I usually don't recommend them for zumba.


But alot of people love them for zumba. Dance sneakers have that split sole that allows your foot to flex and they have lots of cushion so they feel like you are walking on pillows. They also have a smooth sole for easy pivots and spins but still have just enough traction so that you don't lose your grip.


For me personally, I prefer more of a cross-trainer athletic shoe for zumba, perhaps because I teach classes and so I just need extra support for my feet and legs to keep going!


But if you really want to try a dance sneaker, here are some styles by Capezio that have great reviews and so many of the reviewers are saying that they are wearing them for zumba class!


Capezio - Fierce Dansneaker (Black) - Footwear
Capezio - Canvas Dansneaker (Black) - Footwear

Now the thing with dance sneakers is that they are sized small. So you will have to order a size up from what you normally wear. Luckily zappos.com is a great company that offers free shipping both ways so you can order different sizes just to try on at home. 

Oh and fyi, these are sized for both men and women!
