Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Do I Need A Partner? 
A: No partner or experience necessary!

Q: What Do I Wear?
A: For Ballroom we simply recommend you wear something comfortable

Q: When are the fees paid and by what payment method?
A: There are no contracts simply pay as you go

Q: How do I Register?
A: Simply arrive before the class starts on the evening of your choice

Q: Which Shoes
A: For your first Ballroom Class, it's not necessary to buy new shoes. Chances are you can find something appropriate in your closet at home.

Q: I Have two left feet - Can I learn to dance ?
A:Yes! Anyone can learn to dance with the help of a qualified instructor. We work with beginners every day and are able to explain and demonstrate dances in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Like the proverb says: If you can speak, you can sing and if you can walk, you can dance.

Q: What is a private lesson
A: During private lessons you receive individual attention which allows the student (individual or couple) to learn at their own pace yet is flexibile enough for even the busiest schedules. Group classes are great for practicing lead and follow as well as for repetition. Classes are a fun way to make new friends. For most individuals, I recommend a program with a combination of classes and private lessons.

Q: Social Dance Etiquette 101
A: Do not teach or criticize your social dance partners while you're out on the social dance floor. Remember, you are out there for fun and your partner is too.

Q: Beginner Dancer's Tip
A: Try never to refuse a dance with someone who is asking you. It doesn't feel very good to be rejected. This tip is for the ladies and the gentlemen, and a reminder to the Intermediate/Advanced dancers as well. This is how we learn to be better dancers; by dancing with lots of different partners and dancers of all levels.
