WEAR?
No special clothes are needed for the classes. Just wear your modern casual clothes and some comfortable flat shoes. We only dress up for our balls and galas.
WHAT?
You need not have any previous dance experience. If you can walk, count and turn about, you can vintage dance. Vintage dances are group dances, so you aren't left alone on the dance floor. We teach each dance before the music is played and prompts your steps while you are dancing to the music.
WHO?
Anyone 14 and older, unless previous permission has been granted for younger people. You don't need to bring a partner, although it is more enjoyable if you do.
