Arrive early to warm up
Get to the studio 10–15 minutes before start to stretch and meet partners so you don’t interrupt the flow of the class.
Choose the right shoes
Wear shoes with smooth soles or dance trainers to allow pivots without slipping—avoid heavy hiking boots or sticky rubber soles.
Hydrate between sets
Bring a refillable water bottle and sip between practice rounds to keep energy and concentration up.
Use public transport
Central London studios are best reached by Tube or bus—parking is limited and streets can be congested at night.
Dance or low-profile shoes
Smooth-soled shoes help you pivot and lead without gripping the floor.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is important during energetic partner work.
Light layers
A thin top or jacket to remove after warm-up keeps you comfortable in variable studio temperatures.
Small crossbody bag
Keeps essentials secure while leaving your hands free to dance.
