What kind of shoes/clothes should I wear?
What kind of shoes/clothes should I wear?Wear whatever is comfortable, that should be your primary concern. You'll find people wearing any number of things ranging from jeans and dress pants, to shorts (in the summer) and skirts. It is highly recommended that the clothes be loose, rather than tight fitting and you should consider bringing additional shirts or tops to change into, as this is a physical activity and you will likely perspire (sweat!). No one likes dancing with a sweat-soaked partner.
For shoes, we ask you wear shoes that won't scuff our hardwood floors. In the winter, we ask that you clean the soles so salt and gravel don't get tracked onto the floor, and always make sure the soles are dry.
Women tend to wear flats rather than heels. Experienced dancers will put suede or duct tape on the bottom of sneakers (tennis shoes) since those shoes are nicely cushioned, and the suede or duct tape allows your feet to glide across the floor with control.
