Question 1

Do I need a partner?

Accepted Answer

No partner needed. We rotate partners throughout every group class, so you can come solo, with a friend, or with your partner and still dance the whole hour.

Question 2

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable clothes you can move in and smooth-soled shoes that let you turn — sneakers with grippy rubber soles are the only thing to avoid. Dance shoes are welcome but never required.

Question 3

Are the classes good for complete beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Level 1 class starts from the very first step and assumes zero experience. Most of our students walk in having never danced before.

Question 4

How long is each class?

Accepted Answer

Group classes run 55 minutes. Friday socials include a beginner lesson followed by open social dancing until 11pm.

Question 5

Can I make up a missed class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You have 4 weeks from your start date to make up any missed class in another class of the same level — at no extra cost.
