You do not need a partner to start ballroom dancing. At Access Ballroom, we welcome both singles and couples who wish to learn to dance. If you are joining the dance classes on your own, then the dance instructor becomes your partner in private lessons; while in group lessons we always rotate partners.
When you are going to a ballroom dance class, you can wear something comfortable that you are able to move in. You can dress up as much as be more casual – totally up to you!
Also, make sure to bring your dance shoes with suede soles to wear on the dance floor. If you do not have them yet (e.g. it’s your very first class), just an extra pair of clean non-marking comfortable shoes to wear on the dance floor and help us keep the studio clean. Socks are fine too. All other footwear is prohibited on the dance floor.
