Which class is right for me?
Do I need a partner?
No. Every adult class rotates partners, so you dance with everyone in the room and never need your own. Couples are welcome too, and nobody is paired with someone they would rather not dance with.
How do I try a class?
Pick a class from the schedule and book it on our trial page. Arrive ten minutes early so a teacher can say hello and show you where to leave your shoes.
Which class is right for me?
Start with the dance you have wanted to try, or the one you heard at the last wedding. If you are not sure, the waltz and the rumba are the two we suggest to most beginners, and a teacher can tell you where to begin when you visit.
What should I wear?
Wear what you can move in. Shoes with a smooth sole and a closed heel work well, and socks are fine in the first weeks. Ballroom shoes can wait until you know you are staying.
