Choose your surface wisely
Ask where the class will meet—paved plazas and park paths vary; a smooth surface helps pivots and reduces injury risk.
Footwear matters
Light-soled dance shoes or sneakers with a smooth sole improve turns and prevent dragging on rough pavement.
Hydrate and schedule smart
Book morning or late-afternoon lessons to avoid heat or summer downpours; bring a water bottle for quick sips between sets.

This activity is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or serious cardiovascular conditions—disclose health issues before booking.
