Comfortable clothing that allows free movement is ideal, along with soft dance shoes suited to the style. It is worth checking with the school if a class has particular requirements.
Costs vary depending on the class and how often you attend. It is best to contact the school directly for current rates.
A style with a clear, repeatable rhythm is usually a good starting point for beginners. The teacher can advise on the best class to begin with.
Adults often begin with a style that has a simple, structured foundation. Trying a beginners class is the easiest way to find what suits you.
Gentle dancing can be a pleasant form of movement, but anyone with a heart condition should check with their doctor first and mention any limits to the teacher.
