What should I wear to a dance class?

Ballet and jazz require form-fitting clothes so your form and posture is visible.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes and shoes to contemporary or street classes.
Wear fitness or leisure clothes and tap shoes to tap dance lessons.
Wear casual clothes, smooth-soled shoes, or dresses to ballroom, tango, or salsa classes.

Need a class that conforms to your schedule

I really enjoyed working with Neasy. She made dancing fun and exciting. No matter what skill level you are, she takes the time to make sure you’re learning the correct movements and that you have fun doing it. The best thing I liked working with Neasy is her energy and sense of humor. I will definitely recommend her for anyone wanting to learn how to dance on any level

Typically, I do not write reviews unless the service(s) rendered superseded my experiences or expectations. I was immediately blown away by the level of professionalism, patience and knowledge Ash displayed while verbalizing Zouk beginner’s routine. Please don’t take my word for it, contact her for a private lesson. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Next week is too long for my next dance session. To all Zoukers!! Ash is a must!
