Common Questions

I've never danced before. Can I really join?

Absolutely. The course starts completely from zero and is specifically designed for complete beginners.

Do I need a partner?

No. Most students come alone. We rotate partners during the class so everyone has the opportunity to practise with different people.

What if I have two left feet?

That's exactly what beginner classes are for. We start with basic timing and simple movements, then build your skills gradually each week.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that allow you to move easily. You do not need specialist dance shoes for your first course.

What does a progressive course mean?

Each week builds on what you learned in the previous class. This gives you a clear learning path and helps you develop your dancing step by step.

What happens if I miss a class?

Don't worry—life happens! You can make up for a missed class by attending an equivalent beginner session at any of our venues (Rathmines or Pearse Street) later that same week. Just drop us a message to let us know and confirm the best option for you.

What happens after the 6-week course?

After completing the beginner course, you can continue into the next Infinity level and keep developing your technique, partnerwork and confidence on the dance floor.
