Wear smooth-soled shoes
Choose shoes that slide and pivot easily—avoid sticky rubber soles to protect your partner and the floor.
Hydrate before and after
Two hours of focused movement is more demanding than it feels; bring a reusable water bottle and drink regularly.
Arrive early to warm up
Ten minutes of light stretching and ankle rolls reduces the risk of stiffness and improves balance for partnered work.

State if you’re preparing for social dancing, a performance, or just trying something new so the lesson is tailored to you.
