Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to class?

Wear what is comfortable for you. Leggings or yoga pants are recommended. Dance shoes or socks are helpful, but you can also dance in bare feet. 

Do I need any previous dance experience to join?

We welcome both brand-new and seasoned dancers. Our classes are for all levels!

Is it weird to come to my first class alone?

Not at all! We know it can be intimidating to walk into a room full of strangers. We will make you feel at home with us.
