Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for my dance lessons?

Anything that is comfortable and allows freedom of movement. In terms of footwear, you might find it easier to wear what you would normally wear, when you go out social dancing. Trainers (sneakers) are not generally recommended as they are sometimes difficult to move in, when dancing on the hardwood floors.

Will I need a partner to take dance lessons?

No. Most students in our group classes are primarily single, and partners are rotated throughout the class if needed. However, if you bring a partner with you it may be less intimidating!

Is learning to dance difficult?

Dancing can be quite easy to learn. Like most new things, it will take time to achieve, but our instructors make learning as easy as possible and fun. A steady approach with practice will produce results in a short period.

Am I too old to learn to dance?

Anyone who is able to walk can dance! Our students range in age from 16-70+. Moving to the beat and co-ordinating with your partner are things that are easily learned at any age, although dancing is something that many people choose to begin later in life when they have more time for a new hobby.
