If I want to buy just one pair of dance shoes for all my dance classes (ballroom, line, latin). What should I get?

Go to a dance store. They sell Character Shoes. They are have a two to three inch heal, the toes are covered and there is a band that goes from ankle to ankle. I used to wear them for musicals. They usually come in beige. There are some little dance shops or I would recommend calling a place where they give dance lessons and ask where you can purchase a pair.

Are you a girl or a guy?
If you're a girl:
For Ballroom and Latin, it is the best to get Ballroom Practice shoes. I think you will be OK doing line dancing in them too. It looks like this, but look for cheaper price: http://danceshopper.com/ballroom-dance-shoes.Supadance%201026 Character shoes are too stiff for ballroom. If you don't like the look, social shoes will be OK too (closed toe, moderate heel)
If you're a guy: You can't really do ballroom in any other shoes than ballroom. I've seen many people try, but all of them eventually switched to Standard low heel ballroom shoes. You can do Latin in them too, and I'm pretty sure you can do line dancing in them.

I would get Jazz shoes because they are easy to dance in However if you are taking a Tap class you will need TAP shoes, but you cannot use Tap shoes for Jazz Line danceing Latin or ballroom, for Ballroom i would use charecter shoes just my opinion!!

I agree with getting character shoes. But, make sure you start off with a low heal (either the 1" or the 1.5"). DON'T start off with the 3" character shoe if you've never danced in a high heal before.
