Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to come with a partner? No, we rotate partners as this helps you develop quicker as a dancer. If you’d prefer to stick with one partner, that’s fine as well. Vernacular Jazz is danced individually.
- What should I wear? Classes are very casual, so wear clothes you are comfortable in and allow you to move freely. Flat shoes are best, and ideally fairly light and not too much grip – also not shoes that might easily fall off your foot! No black soled shoes or stiletto heels which may mark the floor.
- What should I bring? Water or other soft drink, and a towel may be useful.
- Follow or Lead? These terms are based on your role in the dance. You can even switch roles partway through a dance! Trying both roles also helps your development as a dancer. Initially it’s usually better to stick with one role for a while to avoid confusion.
- I don’t think I can dance – is that a problem? Absolutely not! Our Level One classes are suitable for complete beginners and we recommend for beginners to attend this class for as long as they need to help them turn new footwork into muscle memory.
- Are there any discounts? We offer student discounts as well as Access to Dance opportunities.
