Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU HAVE LESSONS?
Yes, we have a beginning swing dance lesson at 8:00pm before each dance. The material covered is always beginner-friendly and will teach you enough to get you out on the floor having fun for the rest of the evening. You do not need to purchase tickets ahead of time, just pay at the door!
DO I HAVE TO BRING A PARTNER?
No. In fact, we encourage dancing with different people to improve your dancing skills. We work to create a welcoming community that encourages people from differing genders, backgrounds, and abilities to dance with one another. Don’t be afraid to ask someone to dance!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
We recommend comfortable shoes with smooth rubber soles or dance shoes with sueded soles. Keds or other sneakers are as common here as leather dance shoes. Flip flops, open toe shoes, strappy heels, and shoes with good grip are discouraged due to possible injury to your feet or knees (or to other dancers).
