What Our Students Say

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all! We rotate in class anyway so you’ll get to dance with everyone. But feel free to bring someone with you!

  • Wear something comfortable and that you can move in. Keep in mind that dancing is active and you should expect to sweat! Clothing that is breathable and that doesn't result in obvious sweat patches is always a good call.

  • There's no need to wear special dance shoes. As with your clothing, wear something comfortable that you can move in. Try to avoid shoes with excessive grip on the soles.

    Ladies, it's generally best to start out in flat shoes (rather then heels). If you wish to purchase dance shoes, have a chat to us in class. We can help advise you on type and brand including where you can buy them.

  • Unfortunately no, but we’ll get you up to speed as quickly as possible so you can catch up!

  • Talk to our friendly front desk team, or let the teachers know! We’re always on the lookout for aspiring performers.
