Something with a suede sole, preferably. Most dance stores sell special ballroom and latin shoes, which vary greatly in price and/or style. Often they look something like this: http://www.ballroomplaza.com/stores/shoes/dsol/ladies_sandals/160101.jpg
Ask your studio/teacher what shoes would be best for the most accurate answer because often times teachers like their students to wear a particular style of shoe.

Rubber soles are out (too much traction for you to turn) and some synthetic soles are too slippery (risking a fall). If it's a good wood floor, sueded leather is the best sole surface, but not by any means a necessity. You'll want a back or at least a strap so you don't dance out of them.
