BL180 Rabah Low Heel Ballroom & Latin Dance Shoes • Satin Multi-Strap

The So Danca BL180 Low Heel Ballroom & Latin Dance Shoes are a lovely choice for dancers who want the elegance of a strappy dance sandal without committing to a higher Latin heel. Built around a comfortable 1.5" shaped heel, BL180 combines an open-toe satin upper, cushioned insole and adjustable cross-strap design with a full suede dance sole for smooth, controlled movement across the floor.

So Danca BL180 Personality

Elegant • Approachable • Secure • Social-Dance Friendly

BL180 is for the dancer who likes the look of a classic strappy dance sandal but doesn't necessarily want the height that usually comes with one. The slim satin straps keep the foot looking light and elegant, while the low heel makes the overall shoe feel much more approachable.

Black is understated and endlessly versatile, while Burgundy brings a richer, warmer personality that looks particularly beautiful for evening and social dancing.

The 1.5" shaped heel is what gives BL180 its distinctive place in the collection. It provides a little elevation and a recognisable dance-shoe silhouette while keeping the dancer considerably closer to the floor than a traditional higher Latin heel.

Across the forefoot, multiple slim satin straps create an open and flexible feel while helping distribute contact across the front of the foot. The crossover strap system then extends around the foot for a more secure connection.

One particularly useful BL180 detail is its adjustable under-arch strap. The main strap passes through the sole beneath the arch, allowing the dancer to alter how the strap wraps around the foot and ankle. It's a small construction detail that makes the shoe considerably more adaptable than its delicate appearance suggests.

A cushioned insole adds softness underfoot, while the full suede dance sole provides the controlled glide needed for turns, travelling steps and general Ballroom and Latin movement.
