FAQ'S
Do I need to bring a partner?
You are welcome to bring a partner, although one is not required. We change partners often so everyone gets a chance to dance.
If I bring a partner, do I have to rotate?
If you are not comfortable changing partners and would like to stay dancing with your partner, that's perfectly fine!
What should I wear?
Anything that you feel comfortable moving and dancing in. Activewear is a popular choice. Shoes with rubber/sticky soles are not ideal - shoes with smooth soles, socks, jazz shoes or dance sneakers/shoes are great.
Do I need dance experience?
Dance experience is not required for our beginner classes. They are designed for absolute beginners or anyone wanting to revisit the basic concepts, steps and movements.
How do I pay?
When you register, you will recieve an invoice with all the details within a couple of days. We accept online banking before the term starts or cash on the first night is fine.

We believe everyone can dance! Our classes are designed to teach those who have never danced before, right through to those who are more experienced. There is a class for everyone!
I’ve been dancing for 2 years, but my partner never has. What are our options?
If you would like a fast way to get your partner confident for classes, we offer private lessons. Please see "Courses" for more information on this.
