- Frequently Asked Questions -
Do
I need a partner?
No! We welcome couples and singles alike. It is customary to change dance partners
frequently throughout the evening. We consider that to be more sociable, and
you will learn faster as you have an opportunity to dance with other, possibly
more experienced, dancers. So bring your spouse, bring a friend, or come on
your own. Do I need those funny shoes?
No again! Just bring a pair of comfortable, low-heeled and soft-soled shoes with rubber soles so that you won't slip. A pair of light running shoes would be perfect. By the way, we call those funny shoes ghillies. They are worn by both men and women, although many of the women wear "pumps" (like ballet slippers, but with either a full sole or a short sole with a pleated toe). Some dancers (men and women) wear a soft jazz shoe for a little more support. If you decide to stay with the dancing and want to invest in a pair of dance shoes, we will help you decide what is best for you and provide information about where you can purchase them.
