Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 Shoes  

Many beginners ware every day shoes that are comfortable.
 
Some even dance without shoes.
 
We recommend smooth-soled shoes with a comfortable heel.
 
Open-back shoes or rubber soles (trainers)
 
will be harder work.
 

 

Clothes

Wear clothes that are comfortable,
 
allow you to move and that you don’t mind perspiring in.
 
If it’s cold wear layers so you can take
 
a layer off after you warm up dancing.

The majority of dancers don't arrive with a dance partner.

During the paired work we swap partners regularly.
 
If you want to stay with the partner
 
you came with that is fine too.

Each beginner class starts with the basic steps
 
at an appropriate pace.
