Q: Do I need special shoes? A: Specialty dance shoes aren’t needed when you first start out. A comfortable pair of runners for LatinFit and for Ballroom, a pair of leather bottom fashion or dress shoes are perfect. However, as your skill in dance progresses, you will want to upgrade to proper dance shoes to help with form and comfort. Please keep in mind that street shoes are not permitted in our dance facilities, so please bring along a second pair of shoes to change into. Q: Do I need a partner? A: If you intend to join a couple’s class, you must have a partner, however we also offer an “Open Couples” class where you don’t need a partner, you can dance with the other students. If you want to learn some basics without a partner, we recommend private lessons. Latin Fit classes do not require a partner Q: How do I register for classes? A: You can register online for classes or pay by cash, cheque, debit or credit card in person at the studio (Please make cheques payable to Caydance Studios). If you pay by PayPal through the Caydance website, you will be automatically registered for the class. Please note that payment will reserve you space in a class.
