Frequently Asked Questions

 
What should I wear? 
Bring clean, dry shoes with a leather or smooth sole.    Socks work great, too!  You will need to be able to turn easily on the floor so your knees will be happy.  We also try to protect our dance floor from tar & rocks; please do not wear running shoes, flip flops or shoes with treads on the bottom.  People dress in anything from jeans to what they had on at work.
   
What if I can't make all four weeks? 
You can still take the classCall for details.  DANCE Ballroom also offers reasonably-priced private dance lessons by appointment any time of day, seven days a week.  We teach individuals, couples, or groups of any size
.  
What if I don't have a partner? 
Generally, we have a number of individuals who come to lessons or dances.  If you don't come with a partner, you will have the opportunity to dance with other individuals or the instructor of the class.  It's really fun dancing with a group of people excited about learning and having a great time.  That is why they call it social dance!
   
Do you make couples switch partners? 
No.  We don't make people switch partners.  Instructors may give couples the opportunity to rotate to a different dance partner if they want to practice their Lead & Follow skills to become better dancers~ you can always stay with the partner you came with!
   
Do you have a "date night"? 
Our Friday night events have become what many refer to as "An Evening Out."  Individuals, couples and groups of friends gather at DANCE for a fun-filled social time.  It's a great place and time to wind down from a busy week or just enjoy a romantic evening with someone special.  Try something different, have some fun,  join us! 
  
What if I'm not feeling well?
Stay home and get well!  If you are able, please call or send an email to keep us informed.  You will be able to use the credit from the lesson you missed.
  
Do you close when winter weather is bad? 
We will post any cancellations on our website, or you can call to check.   Many times the travel conditions are fine within Sioux Falls, so we run lessons as usual.  If at any time road conditions are unsafe for you, wherever you are, stay home and be safe.  If you are able, please call or send an email to let us know you are unable to get to your lesson.  You will be able to use the credit from the lesson you missed.
