You should wear something comfortable.
Clothes - Any smart casual attire with lots of room to move easily in is fine.
Avoid jackets, pencil skirts, ties, long sleeved shirts or anything
too warm or restrictive.
Shoes - Please avoid
thongs, slippers, mules or open toe sandals; we recommend shoes
with a low heel that have an ankle strap or are closed altogether,
and are secure around your ankles. Sneakers/trainers are okay to
start with, but will later prohibit movement. The best options
are:- Walking shoes or soft jazz shoes are a great option
as are proper Latin dance shoes. Try a few lessons first before
you go out and spend the money on dance shoes though.
If you're doing Salsa, it is
of course a partner dance, so it is always far better to bring someone
along with you, but you are welcome to come on your own. As we are in a private lesson, you will dance with your instructor
You don't have to be fit to get started.
At first it's no more energetic than a walk, but as you progress
and you learn more, gradually you will become more active and gently
increase your capacity.
THis differs greatly between one person and the next and is impossible to predict, because it all depends how much you practice and to what level you aspire. We may get a clearer idea after a couple lessons how you are likely to progress.
Age is not something we ask our
clients on registration, so we can't be accurate there. Our students tend to range quite
widely between late teens to approximately 50 something, with the
vast majority falling between 20's to 40's
