Biking shoes are nice, but not necessary. Bike shoes have a rigid sole, unlike other shoes. The rigid sole allows for a smooth transition and the peddles will not cut into your foot. They are definitely more comfortable than cycling with regular shoes.
There are many different types... the ones i know of and i use are tap shoes - oxford style jazz shoes - you can get split sole or full sole, you can also get jazz trainers which you can wear for any style ballet shoes- basic ballet shoes, pointe shoes
