Aris Allen swing dance sneakers have a "spin spot" on them that allows for turns and sliding. I haven't tried them personally, but I've always wanted a pair because they look really posh.

Supposedly, Bleyer dance sneakers, also for swing dance, have a special sole that has the right combo of grip and give, to allow for a good grip on the dance floor, minus the knee-injuring potential.
