Tickets

Dance tickets are available at the door (cash/card/Venmo) starting at 6:30pm

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 ๐Ÿ‘€)



First time? 

Use Google Maps and budget extra time to park & find the studio! 

(Some other mapping apps do not have our correct location, so make sure to use Google Maps!)

We are inside the Lakeside Towne Center. From the parking lot, head to the front of the shopping center (facing Lakeside Ave) and use the door between Killa Dillas and Jujubees Antiques. We are at the end of the hall.
