Your First Lesson: What to Expect

Nervous about your first class? Don't be! Here’s a quick rundown:

• Attire: Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. For shoes, avoid rubber soles that stick to the floor; a smooth-soled shoe or a dedicated dance shoe is best.
• The Class: Most beginner classes start with a basic warm-up, then break down the fundamental step of the dance. You'll learn a simple turn or pattern by the end of the hour. You don't need to bring a partner—classes rotate so everyone dances with everyone.
• The Culture: The Latin dance community is famously welcoming. Everyone remembers being a beginner, so you'll find plenty of support and encouragement.
