Taking the lesson? Please arrive early enough to park, pay, and change your shoes so that you are ready to learn at 7pm! There is almost ALWAYS a line right at 7pm, so do yourself a favor & show up before then.
Latecomers are not permitted to join class more than 10 minutes after it has begun.
Shoes!
First time? You don't need fancy dance shoes, but dancer etiquette means not entering a dance studio in your street shoes (aka what you walked in wearing).
Bring a clean pair of sensible flat shoes (like sneakers or loafers) to change into. This protects our dancefloor from rocks and dirt.
Don't have a 2nd pair to spare? Please wipe your shoes very well on the rugs provided, to remove grit, dirt & rocks.
Absolutely NO stilettos or other narrow, spiked heels! This is for everyone's safety.
No homemade duct-tape-sole dance shoes: yeah sure these work great for a hot minute, until you wear through the smooth outer layer of tape and leave sticky gunk for others to dance on (and dance studio owners to clean up 👀)
