FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions:


Do I need to sign up for classes ahead of time?
We offer two types of classes: registered courses and drop-in classes.   The majority of our courses require registration. For Drop-in classes you can call ahead and reserve your space but there are no guaranties unless you are registered. 

What if I've never taken a dance class before?
Any course termed "beginner" or "Level 1"is designed for those students who have little, or no training in that specific style of dance. We recommend you start at these levels and progress to higher level classes the more comfortable you become.

Do I need a partner?
No you don't need a partner! The majority of our students attend as singles. The class is structured where there are frequent partner rotations.

What type of shoes should I wear?
Salsa (Latin) shoes for ladies, heels with a strap around the ankle are preferred unless you never wear heels. Then a smooth soled shoe for men and women will do. Jazz shoes or dance sneakers are also an option for those who like comfortable flat shoes. No flip-flop sandals, or thick rubber soled shoes as these shoes can cause injury. We sell quality Ballroom/Latin dance shoes for an affordable price.

What is the dress code for classes?
You can wear anything, from jeans to business wear, to evening wear. Generally, workout/yoga wear is good for any of our fitness classes.

We accept cash, or cheque in person. You may pay with a credit card online or over the phone. Pre-registration is required for the group classes. Payment can be made in advance on our website or in person on your first class.
