FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring a partner?
It is best if you bring a partner, but instructors do try to help those that come with no partner find someone to dance with. No consistent partner can be promised, though, because it's impossible to know who will show up. There is a small charge to put an ad in the club newsletter each month if students would like to advertise for one.
Is there a dress code?
There are no specific regulations regarding how students should dress, but reason suggests that you should dress in comfortable clothing which does not impede your movement.
What kind of shoes should I wear?
The floor at Hara Arena is a wood floor that is more forgiving on your feet than the marble floors we used to dance on. You can wear either good dance shoes with suede bottoms, your favorite pair of old practice shoes, jazz shoes or comfortable, but sturdy heels. Do NOT wear gym shoes or shoes that could easily fall off your feet while dancing.
Are kids allowed?
Generally speaking, no. The classes are not set up for teaching children, especially young ones. Older teens may attend so long as a parent or guardian is present at all times to monitor and control their behavior.
