Class Rules & Dance Etiquette

  1. Please sign-in before every class.
  2. Please check the calendar before attending class. Though rare, class times are subject to change.
  3. After registering for and attending your first Introductory Class, you don’t have to register for any more classes. Just drop in when it’s convenient.
  4. No Street Shoes. There are many barefoot dance classes also held in our space. Street shoes tend to track in small bits of rock and glass.
  5. Be nice. Look nice. Smell nice. Dress nice. Act nice - especially to your partner. Some couples like to argue - please don’t - it makes it weird for the rest of us.
  6. No “giving pointers” to your partner. Though your intentions may be good, it makes some people feel more self-conscious, like they’re not doing well. And it disrupts the flow of the class.
  7. Be a little early. Not late.
  8. We are gay friendly! You may dance with someone of the same sex on occasion. If this is an issue, please see rule #5.
  9. Don’t be afraid to mess up. Nobody gets this stuff on the first try and everybody makes big mistakes in the beginning.
  10. Don’t be afraid to dance with other people. Your dancing will improve at a much quicker pace if you dance with many different partners. Plus, you’ll make a bunch of new friends.
