FAQs about Dance

1. What should I wear? A: Casual clothing which allows freedom of movement and supportive shoes (soft leather soles are preferred but alternatively something that won’t grip or slip easily on a wooden floor). Dance shoes are available for sale in the studio showroom, but an appointment must be made for fitting assistance. Competitive dancers are required to wear dance shoes. 2. Do I need a partner? A: Classes are structured so that partners are not required. You will however have to learn to partner or be partnered so at times we rotate and make dances progressive to develop this skill. 3. How long will it take to learn a dance? A: The answer to this question obviously depends on ability and skill as well as quality. Classes are structured to encourage repetition and detailing through which understanding and skill is achieved. At a Beginner level, simple basic choreography performed up to speed with ease of movement is our aim. Two dances in a 10 week term is usually attainable. At Intermediate to Advanced level, more advanced choreography is introduced and a deeper understanding of fundamentals is encouraged. Usually one dance is focused on for a 10 week term. 4. What are the pathways for someone who’s keen to develop further? A: Our studio provides several options for clientele: Beginners Classes in Latin and Ballroom (Children and Teens do composite classes).
