Question 1

Do I need a partner?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't. Most people take the classes on their own personal growth journey to learn a new skill, develop a new hobby and healthy habits, and to meet new people!

In class we rotate partners every few minutes so everyone gets a chance to connect and dance with everyone.

Question 2

Which role should I be – follow or lead?

Accepted Answer

In partner dancing, there are two roles: the lead, who initiates the movements, and the follow, who responds to those cues. Traditionally, these roles were divided by gender, but in our academy, anyone can choose either role—or even learn both!

Question 3

Do I need dance shoes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You need them! :) Not only do they protect your knees, joints, and body (no tears in your meniscus please!), you will spin, turn, and dance easier and better! Sliding and gliding will make you a better partner, too.
