First time dancing? What you need to know

What to do first
Let the studio know you're coming so they can manage bookings and staffing. Please contact the studio directly via phone, email or their social media.

Come early
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the lesson to be welcomed and given relevant information.

Do I need a partner?
No, many come alone and there are plenty of students and teachers to dance with. Friends and partners are welcome. 

What to wear
Dress in neat casual comfortable clothing. Wear shoes that you will be able to dance in – a pair of flat shoes or runners. No thongs or sandals, please.

What to bring?
A water bottle, a willingness to learn, and a sense of humour!
