Frequently asked Questions

What should I wear?

Do I need a partner?
No, unless specifically stated for special workshops (eg airsteps) or courses. You don't need a partner for any of our regular classes listed above. Plenty of people come on their own or with friends - we rotate partners in the classes as it's the best way to learn and you get to meet/dance with everyone!

Do I need to book in advance?
Only for workshops and courses. You don't need to book for any of our regular drop-in classes listed above. Just turn up!
