Shoe Policy

When attending weekly practices and other dance venues please bring a pair of clean, dry shoes (dance shoes or sneakers you set aside for dancing only). Smooth soles without black rubber bottoms, are preferable because they allow for easier turning. High-heels are not advisable. Always change into your dance shoes before entering the venue so as to prevent water and grit from getting on the dance floor.
