What to wear and bring

Smooth soles beat new boots. That's most of the advice. Here's the rest of it.

3 minute read

Shoes

Anything with a smooth sole that stays on your foot. Sneakers with grippy rubber soles make turns harder, but plenty of people wear them for months. You do not need boots to start.

Clothes

Whatever you'd wear to walk fast for an hour. Rooms get warm. Nobody in the history of our classes has commented on someone's outfit.

Bring

Water, and a phone to note down the names of the dances you liked. That's it.
