WHAT TO WEAR
Beginners often ask what to wear - wear casual comfortable clothes. Shoes, if not ballroom or Latin, should not have rubber or plastic soles, leather is better. Ladies heels should not be more than 2.5 inches high.
Please bring your own refreshments.
Telephone or email if you have any questions, your inquiry is very welcome.
