A few common questions

Everything you need to know to get started

Do I need a partner?

Not at all. Some students attend with a partner, while others come with a friend or on their own. We have class helpers who can partner when needed, and you’ll also spend time practising steps individually to build confidence and technique.

What should I wear?

Just wear something comfortable. Please avoid wearing shoes with a grippy sole like trainers, as many dances require both partners to be able to slip the foot or pivot. Shoes with a smooth sole are ideal. Dance shoes with suede soles are available and are recommended if you dance regularly.

Will I be out of my depth?

No! Classes are grouped by level, and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. You are encouraged to learn at your own pace and you will receive one to one help during class from either the teacher or class helper if required.

What dance are you learning now?

There is no fixed course schedule as the dance we are learning is guided by the class. If you are joining us for the first time, you are welcome to start at any point. Our class helpers are on hand to support newcomers and help you pick up the steps.
