FAQs
Do I need to be a UofC student to join?
No. we are very happy to have members who are not UofC-affiliates join the class.

Do I need a partner?
Not at all--many, if not most, people come without a partner, and everyone is encouraged to rotate partners during class.

Do I need special shoes/cloths?
Standard dance shoes, leather soles are all okay. You may not want to wear sneakers to dance, for sneakers and other shoes with non-skid soles won't allow your feet to move smoothly over the floor, and dancing in them might even lead to joint injury from the shoes causing your feet to stop too suddenly.
Gentlemen please DO NOT wear shorts to dance as a courtesy to your partner.

What if I have more questions?
