Dance Studio: FAQ
As of December 2022: masks are optional to wear inside of the studio during lessons, practice or dance events. Hand sanitizers are distributed throughout the studio. Cleaning is being done regularly. Sign in is required at front desk to monitor the attendance. Thank you for understanding and trying to keep you safe.
As far as shoes both men and ladies should wear leather or smooth bottom shoes. Tennis shoes are not permitted. Rubber soled shoes stick to the floor and will not allow you to turn, twist, or spin. Ladies: no mules, slip-ons, platforms, or flip-flops. Your shoe should have a closed back or straps to hold your foot in place. You want a flexible shoe that will stay on your foot. Once you become addicted to dancing, we will advise you on where to find good dance shoes.
In partner dancing, one of the partners (the lead) will be the one initiating the dance moves and the other partner will follow (hence, the name ‘follow’) the move. Traditionally the man is the lead and the woman is the follow. That said, if you are a man who would like to learn how to follow, or a woman who would like to lead, we are happy to accommodate– just let your instructor know at the start of class.
Our students enjoy partner dancing for all kinds of reasons– entertainment, meeting new people, relaxation, year-round exercise, improving coordination and rhythm, or simply having a creative outlet. Mostly it’s just plain fun! All of us here at Le Pari Dance Center can attest to the positive mental and physical benefits of ballroom dancing. It can literally transform your life.
