Arrive Early
Get to the studio 10–15 minutes before class to check in, warm up, and secure a good spot on the floor.
Wear Dance-Friendly Shoes
Choose non-marking, low-heel or flat soles that allow turning and pivoting without gripping the floor.
Hydrate and Layer
Bring water and a light layer—rooms can heat up during practice but cool quickly afterward.
Practice Respectful Partnering
Be courteous with partners: clear signals, ask before leading complex moves, and swap partners if that’s the class norm.
Non-marking dance shoes
Allow pivots and turns without sticking to the floor and protect studio surfaces.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated through quick practice drills and repeating sequences.
Breathable, flexible clothing
Clothing that permits hip and torso movement makes learning technique easier.
Small towel or sweatband
Useful in hotter months for comfort between songs.
