What should I wear?

NON-PARTNER DANCES
For Hip Hop, Jazz, Tap and Turns Technique classes, please wear comfortable clothing cos you'll be moving lots and might even be doing floor work.

For Hip Hop, you can wear track shoes or sneakers. The same type of shoes are fine for Jazz and Turns Technique classes if you don't have Jazz shoes.

However, we recommend that you do not wear Jazz shoes for Hip Hop as they don't provide enough arch support.

For Tap, please wear leather-soled shoes if you don't have tap shoes. For Tap newbies, please talk to the Tap teacher at your first class and she will make tap shoe recommendations.

PARTNER DANCES
For Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Street Cha Cha Cha, Lindy Hop and Tango, once again, comfortable clothes are the order of the day. Office wear is also quite acceptable.

As for footwear, Lindy Hoppers, track shoes or sneakers are good.

For Salsa and Tango, gals, please make sure your footwear is secure - you don't want to spend the hour gripping your toes trying to hang on to your shoes. We recommend mary-jane type shoes that have ankle straps which secure the shoes to your feet

For guys, track shoes, sneakers or leather-soled shoes.

In all dances, we TOTALLY discourage slippers, mules or slip-ons. Persistence in wearing these types of footwear when dancing is known as the Cinderella Syndrome - you losing your shoe while dancing may cause injury to yourself, or even worse, someone dancing next to you.
