History
Established in 2011.
After many years of performances, instruction, and practice, Yaisuri Salamanca became aware of the importance of having the most correct dance shoes.
Here is her story:
It has always been really hard for me to buy shoes. My size is not on the shoe retail market. I couldn't find shoes that fit and most shoe retailers have little patience for special orders. One time, I won a prize from a competition in Argentina. The prize was a pair of tango shoes. I received my voucher and went with excitement to claim my prize. I was so excited to see so many beautiful tango shoes. I tried one pair after another, but I ended up getting a pair that was the less painful to wear.
It was then that I decided to create my own line of professional dance shoes for men and women. I focused on stylish-functional designs which combine beauty, comfort, and stability. I established my business in the year 2011 even though I have been working with custom orders since 2005.

This rare quality led her to become the Colombian Style Champion at the 2005 World Salsa Championship in Puerto Rico.

One can safely say that Salamanca is the master of bringing art forms, and she does so with amazing strength yet delicate grace with her collection.
After many years of performances, instruction and practice, Salamanca became aware of the importance of having the most correct dance shoes. Many beginners and even advanced dancers have difficulty finding both elegance and comfort in a pair of dance shoes. There is a contradiction in the typical pair of shoes for dancing: the stylish shoes are not practical for many hours of training and the comfortable shoes just donโt shine on the dance or performance floor.
She focused on stylish-functional designs which combine beauty, comfort and stability. In the year 2000, this new exciting yet practical line of shoes was brought to us by Salamanca HandMade Shoes.
