Getting Started in Ballroom Dance
Most studios offer introductory packages for beginners, typically including a private assessment lesson and several group classes. Don't worry about having a partner—many students come solo, and studios often rotate partners during lessons. Wear comfortable clothes that allow movement and shoes with leather soles (avoid rubber soles that stick to the floor). The most important thing to bring is a willingness to learn and have fun!
