Is it easy to learn?
Yes! It is easy to learn -
You can pick up the basic moves in only a few weeks by joining the Beginners class which starts at 8.15 at every one of our venues. It is NOT a course, so don’t worry if you miss a week. We also hold regular workshops to help you get better faster.

What should I wear?
For classes, clothing is casual with men wearing t-shirts or ordinary shirts. Ladies wear trousers or skirts as long as they give you room to move.
You will get hot so a change of top, a towel and some extra deodorant is recommended!
As for shoes, trainers are not recommended; any shoes that will stay on and have a smooth sole will be fine, leather soles are ideal. There are special dance shoes that you might want to buy once you have had a bit of practise, but ordinary shoes are what most people wear.
