Comfortable clothing you can move in, and smooth-soled shoes — leather or suede soles glide best. Avoid rubber soles that grip the floor.
Most students are out on the floor within a few weeks. The New Student Special, with a couple of group classes, is usually enough to feel at ease at our Friday party.
Teens to eighties — everyone is welcome. We teach professionals, couples and active retirees alike. There is no wrong age to begin.
