Frequently Asked Questions
What shoes should I wear to my class?
Our studio floors are especially designed for your comfort and safety. They can mark easily and we ask that you wear light soled trainers (grey or white) or non-marking dance shoes. Some classes (for example ballet and tap) may require specific footwear, but trainers can also be worn to these classes. If you are new to a class, just attend in trainers and your teacher can advise for future classes.
What clothes should I wear?
Just wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing. Your teacher will advise you if you should wear anything specific in the future.
