Bring a sweat rag &/or spare shirt, if you perspire a lot. ***SOLO DANCERS WELCOME!*** We rotate partners in the lesson, so you can meet and learn from the group. This is considered the fastest way to learn, for most. ***PARTNERS WELCOME!*** If you prefer to dance with a designated partner, we support that too. Just dance outside the rotation (the side/back of class).
