Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a partner?

Q: What shoes should I wear?

A: Wear shoes that are comfortable and stay securely on the foot (avoid flip flops). It is best to wear shoes that will slide on a wood floor - try to avoid wearing shoes with a sole made of rubber or other material that will grip the floor. A slight heel is nice for ladies. If you decide to continue your lessons regularly, we recommend purchasing ballroom dance shoes with a suede sole.

Q: What clothing should I wear?
A: Your normal clothes are fine to start out. Wear something that makes you feel good and is easy to move in. Ladies may wear a skirt if desired, a longer skirt is traditional for ballroom and a shorter skirt for latin. Regular students may wish to purchase ballroom dance practice wear – ask your instructor for recommendations on where to purchase.

Q: What dances do you teach?

A: We specialize in partner dancing and teach all the traditional ballroom and latin dances. We are certified in both International and American style.
