What else do i need to know
Once you’re signed up to a class, what do you need to know to prepare for your first session?
First of all, you'll need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for dancing. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes that fit securely and do not have too much grip. Plimsoles for example are fine to start with. We do not recommend sandals or flip flops as they can easily fall off when dancing. If you decide further down the line that you would like to invest in some dance shoes a member of our team can advise on that. There is no need for formal ballroom shoes at the beginner stage.
The same goes for clothing, choose something you a comfortable in and that you can move freely in, loose clothing or sportswear is ideal.
