Do I need to have danced before?
- Not for Beginner classes & Dance in a Day workshops.
What's the right class for me?
- No experience? Beginner.
- Know basics in most dances? Beyond Beginner.
- Danced for a few years? Progressive or Experienced.
Do I need a partner?
- Ideally yes - it's tricky to match people. Everyone welcome & you don't have to stick to traditional lead/follow gender roles if you prefer not.
Do you switch partners around the class?
- No - as you usually want to learn with your own partner.
How many people are in a class, private lesson or wedding dance lesson?
- Classes & workshops restricted to maximum of 8-12 couples dependent on venue size. This allows for individual attention and experience of a social dance floor.
- Private lessons restricted to 1-2 couples.
- Wedding Dance lessons (not workshops) are for the wedding couple only as the choreography is specific to the first dance.
What should I wear?
- Wear something comfortable that doesn't restrict your movement, jeans are perfectly acceptable.
What about shoes?
- Beginners don't need special shoes at the start.
- Wear smooth-soled shoes so that your feet don't stick to the floor.
- Wear supportive shoes - no back is dangerous.
- Wear a comfortable heel height. Not ballet pumps (too flat) & not wedge heels (too solid).
Do I need to practice at home?
- Not usually.
