Reggaeton is the Latin urban sound that exploded out of Puerto Rico in the 2000s. It's less a partner dance than the other styles on this list — more solo choreo, more hip isolation, more individual rhythm. Social reggaeton does exist, especially in younger scenes, but most reggaeton movement happens in choreo classes and at open-format Latin nights where the DJ mixes it into salsa and bachata sets.
Start with a choreo class — reggaeton builds on bounce and hip control, not a partner basic. Once the rhythm sits in your body, the social version comes easily. Don't expect the same lead-and-follow grammar as salsa; this one is its own thing.

What to wear on the reggaeton floor
Our pick
Fuego — the any-surface dance sneaker. Split-sole sneaker with a suede-and-rubber combo outsole. Pivots like a ballroom shoe on hardwood, grips on tile, holds up outside. The dance sneaker most of the Latin floor reaches for.
Also worth a look
- Sneakers, honestly. Reggaeton is street. You don't need a dance shoe — clean sneakers with a flat sole are what the room wears.
- Burju dance sneaker (if you want the split sole). For the turns and pivots in choreo classes. Optional for socials.
