I think 6-7" is about the standard heel height on most dance shoes. The higher they are the better your legs look https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
As for the comfort/ease of movement, it's less about height than it is about the design of the shoe in my opinion, as others have said. I do think platforms with thicker heels are generally the best on your feet, but I feel like an elephant clomping around in them. They're so.. clunky? I personally prefer a very small platform and a shorter, stiletto heel (4-5") for dancing and I find them easiest to work with. A lightweight shoe!

My first shoes were these Ellie Juliets (http://www.attractivewear.net/images/el-08/678-Juliet-ellie-shoes-08-.jpg) – unfortunately they just did not fit my feet AT ALL. The bit over the toes was too narrow to keep my feet in place – eventually my toes just kept coming out. Additionally, the sole of the platform is really curvy, which made me constantly feel off-balance on hard floors.
My second pair were these Pleaser Delights (http://cache1.bigcartel.com/product_images/41954071/Pleaser_Delight_609_r_5.75_inch_heel.jpg) – these have a front strap that covers more of the foot, and the sole has a much bigger "flat" section before curving at the front. These were incredibly easy to walk in on wooden floors compared to the old shoes and they fit my feet well.
Higher shoes can be prettier and make your lines nicer, but they're also heavier, which means you often have to use more calf and ankle strength to keep your feet pointed and un-sickled. It also makes it more obvious when your feet are flexed or sickled, ruining your lines. Moves that require a flexed foot look a million times better barefoot, in my opinion. Heavy shoes are actually really useful for me since I have a terrible flexed/sickled foot problem – it reminds me that my feet are there and to fix them up! It's also more difficult to do some moves with them if you're not super flexible (e.g. press-up handstand, anything where you need to touch the ground with your hands without bending your legs).
If I'm doing a difficult class, I usually use my 6" Pleaser Delights, and when I'm doing an easier class, I take my 7" Pleaser Adores. The Adores are also heavier to lug around in my bag after a hard class!
