Question 1

💬 Do I need a partner to join the classes?

Accepted Answer

💡 No partner, no problem! In our group dance classes in Phoenix, you’ll rotate partners and build confidence dancing with different people. It’s a fun way to meet new friends from around the Valley while learning to dance - from Scottsdale, to Tempe, and Glendale. Couples are welcome to stay together if they prefer. 💃🕺

Question 2

💬 Can couples stay together during classes, lessons, and parties?

Accepted Answer

💃🕺 Yes! Couples are always welcome to stay together. If you prefer not to rotate in a group class, simply step back during changes so you can keep practicing together.

Question 3

💬 I’m a complete beginner. Can I still join?

Accepted Answer

🌟 Absolutely! Our beginner-friendly dance classes in Phoenix are designed for newcomers. Many students had zero experience before walking through our doors.

Question 4

💬 What should I wear to class or a dance party?

Accepted Answer

👗👞 Comfortable clothes that let you move! Avoid workout clothes and flip-flops, and you’ll feel more confident on the floor.

Question 5

💬 What type of shoes are best for dancing?

Accepted Answer

✨ Smooth-bottom shoes or dance shoes that slide on the floor are perfect. Avoid sticky rubber soles or sandals, which make turning and movement harder.

Question 6

💬 Do I need to pre-register or can I just drop in?

Accepted Answer

📅 Our classes are drop-in friendly, so you can join anytime. For special workshops or wedding lessons, pre-registration is recommended.
