FAQs
Shoes: While you are still deciding whether ballroom dancing is for you, we recommend wearing leather-soled shoes or any shoes that do not grip the floor too much. Sneakers, Keens, or rubber-type soled shoes are NOT recommended. Slip-on shoes are also NOT recommended.
Once you know that ballroom dance is for you, we recommend purchasing suede soled ballroom dance shoes. Ask in class for our recommended shoe stores. Always BRING, DON'T WEAR your dance shoes! Especially in the Winter. 
Clothes: Wear whatever clothes you are comfortable in. Depending upon the dance, dancing can be an aerobic exercise. Wear layers so that you don’t get too hot.
Women / Men: At the moment we are almost an all-women group. This is only because we have only 3-4 guys who attend sporadically! Guys, please know that you are most welcome. There are a lot of guys who do ballroom & latin dance - just not in St. Louis it seems. Let's grow the community!
