WHAT TO WEAR?

Wear clothing that you feel comfortable in and have the ability to move around easily. We recommend bringing a change of shoes that will move well on the wood dance floor. Avoid athletic shoes like sneakers, as they will grip to the dance floor instead of glide across it. If you are looking to invest in a high quality pair of dance shoes, check out our collection.
