FAQs:
Q: How should I dress?
A: Whatever is comfy for you, you'll want to feel free and not restricted in your movements. We recommend shoes that are not very grippy to protect your knees. If you have dance shoes or dance sneakers, we recommend you use them.
Q: Are there refreshments?
A: Please bring a bottle of water. We will provide a small selection of soft drinks. Please do not bring alcohol out of respect for the venue as an operating church.
Q: I have not danced before, is that a problem?
A: Absolutely not, our first class of the night will be geared to beginners.
Q: I've seen videos of Bachata... is it very sexual?
A: Our Bachata is not the sexual kind now so often seen on social media. We will teach you turn patterns, footwork and instill a flavour of the traditional Dominican Bachata with a sprinkle of salsa inspired dance too! We will also cover social dance etiquette which gives leads and follows clear boundaries.
