Notes on Lessons
You can take either classes with or without a partner -- most people come without a partner. In the group lessons we recommend that leads and follows rotate amongst the other dancers to learn better leading and following technique.
Comfortable shoes are recommended. Tennis shoes work very well. If you want a little slide, put masking tape on the bottom or get leather put on the bottom of your shoes. If you don't have these things, just wear something that sticks to your foot. New dancers should avoid high-heeled shoes, footwear with heavy treads, and shoes that can easily slip off your foot.
