Do I need any experience?
It depends on the class. All beginner classes require zero experience — just show up. Level 1.5 and intermediate classes require some familiarity with the specific style and certain foundational moves. Advanced classes require instructor approval to ensure the experience and safety of everyone in the room.
Do I need a partner?
No partner is ever needed. Our group classes rotate partners so everyone gets experience dancing with different people. Solo attendees make up a large part of our community.
Do I need to rotate partners?
Not at all. We have plenty of couples who only dance with each other, and that's completely fine. We always recommend rotating because it genuinely speeds up how fast you learn — but there's no requirement.
Is this a series? Do I need to start at a specific time?
Nope. We take a lot of pride in being as drop-in friendly as possible. There's no series to start from the beginning, and our curriculum is built around real people's schedules. Come when you can, skip when life happens, and pick right back up — no stress, no pressure to over-plan.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. For shoes, avoid flip-flops or heavy athletic shoes with grippy soles — something with a smoother bottom lets you turn more easily. Women often wear low heels or worn sneakers; men typically wear leather-soled dress shoes or worn sneakers.
Do I need to wear dance shoes?
Not required at beginner or intermediate level, though suede-soled dance shoes are always the most comfortable option. At advanced level, dance shoes or dance socks are highly recommended — your feet and the floor will both thank you.
