Dress Code at Berlin Socials

4 Upvotes

So I found lots of different posts asking about the different types of socials available in Berlin so I think I'm good there, but I was wondering what the dress code is for these events.

I'm going at the end of November, and I feel like Berlin is generally notorious about their club etiquette and dress codes at the door, so I'm worried about what to wear at salsa socials. I'm staying in Kreuzberg for a week, and know what I'll be wearing at the regular techno and industrial clubs, but I'm clueless about the salsa events.

I'm from the US, and I'm usually wearing sparkly/sequin dresses/skirts/etc when I go salsa dancing here.

EDIT: THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!!!

Shoe recommendations that aren’t designed for Latin dance

8 Upvotes

Quick background. I am a dance teacher of 16 years (ballet, tap, jazz, etc) and I take advanced Salsa and Bachata classes on the side. My 35 years of dancing are catching up to me and traditional shoes just aren’t working anymore. I’m good in regular sneakers teaching ballet, but want to find something I can do double and triple spins in class. I’m not a fan of Fuego’s of sneakers with spin spots. I noticed a lot of hip hop dancers wearing Sambas and Vans. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Adding: I’m a female follower and sometimes sub in as a leader

Best tips to improve alone?

3 Upvotes

Hey!

I've been dancing salsa for a while and based on my school levels, I'm on the low-intermediate level. I used to go three times per week but my work has gotten very intense lately and I can only manage one or max. 2 per week.

What are your best tips for practicing alone in the small pockets of time that I have? I watch the videos from the classes and try to practice them, and I also listen and move to a lot of music. But mostly curious to see what has worked well for you guys!
