Cancellation Policy: We will give a full refund for cancellations up to the first day of classes. 
 
What to Wear to Class:  Many people ask what to wear.  Wear casual, comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement.   Wear light, comfortable shoes that have support for your heel.  Bad choices would be boots, platform shoes, sandals or sling backs that have no heel support, and loafers that might slip off as you are dancing.  Sneakers are fine for beginner lessons although some people do not like dancing in sneakers.  If you catch the dancing bug, you might want to consider investing in a pair of ballroom dance shoes.
