Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my first lesson?

We recommend wearing comfortable, unrestricting clothing and shoes with a smooth sole for turning. Avoid shoes with a heavy grip, excessively high heels, or shoes without an enclosed back as they can make it difficult to dance.

Do I need dance shoes?

Probably not for your first few lessons, but I highly recommend investing in a pair of ballroom dance shoes for comfort, support, and improved dancing ability. Regular shoes can damage the dance floor and impede your dancing.

Do I need a partner?

Having a partner is not a requirement for taking ballroom dance lessons. My lessons are designed to accommodate individuals and couples, so everyone can enjoy learning and improving their dancing skills. Sometimes it is better to take individual classes. They can become personalized and allow for faster learning.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.
