Some hints

• You never need a partner. You will rotate with all the partners in class
• No dance experience needed. 90% of new students do not have a dance background
• Dress casual and wear shoes that don't fall off. For ballroom and tango classes dress a step above casual.
• Use a combination of private lessons, group classes, and evening dances to progress quickly. The fastest way to learn spanish is to move to spain.
