Frequently Asked Questions

bullet Do I need a partner?

NO, in fact dancing is a great way to meet new friends/partners.

bullet Do I have to switch partners in the classes?

While we realize that some folks come as partners and have a goal of dancing together as a couple, we also realize that there are people who come without partners. In order to get the most out of the learning process, you must change partners throughout the classes. This is the best way to learn to lead and follow different styles of dancers. It also helps avoid learning the pitfalls of your regular partner. We have found that most people tend to lose patience quickly with someone they know very well. This is another reason why it is always a good idea to change partners frequently during class. An accomplished dancer is able to adjust to any partner.

bullet What should I wear?

Office attire is what most people wear for dancing. The majority of our students come straight from the office. You should wear leather-soled shoes that will easily slide on the floor. (Not too slippery though) Any outfit you wear to dance in should be loose-fitting enough to allow you to move in comfort without feeling restricted (ie, legs or arms.)

bullet Will I feel silly if I come alone to a Friday Night Open?

No, people are very friendly at the Friday dances, and if you let the staff know it’s your first time in the studio, they will do their best to make you feel at home and so will the students. The majority of people come without a partner to the Friday dances, but there are couples who enjoy coming together.

bullet What is the age range?

The age range is from 20s to 50s in weekday classes. On weekends—20s and beyond at the dance parties.
