We do too!
So you think you can dance?
We will take you from absolute beginner to tearing up the dance floor faster than you can say cha cha. No partner needed and no experience whatsoever required.
Starting something new can be an exciting yet intimidating experience, particularly when it involves a physical activity like dancing, which may be unlike any other sport or hobby you've pursued before. At Latin Energy, we understand how daunting it can feel, which is why we're committed to providing a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere where you can learn a new skill, stay fit and meet like-minded individuals.
To help you feel more at ease, we've compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions, which we hope will address any concerns or uncertainties you may have. However, should you require further information or have any other queries, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always here to support you and ensure your experience with us is both positive and rewarding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
A
What shoes should I wear?
We suggest that new students wear shoes that meet the following criteria:
-
Flat or low-heeled, with a secure fit that hugs your feet. Please avoid wearing thongs!
-
Smooth-soled but not excessively slippery, with low to medium grip. Keep in mind that you'll be twisting and turning while dancing, so shoes with too much grip may strain your knees and ankles.
Although dancing in heels is possible, we recommend that you stick to flats or low heels while you're still learning. This will help you get accustomed to the basic movements without putting undue stress on your feet and legs.
Q
A
What type of clothes should I wear?
We recommend students wear comfy clothing that allows for freedom of movement, like gym clothes or just a regular T-shirt with pants. In the summer months, bring a small towel as you will be breaking a sweat in our classes. In cooler months, come dressed in layers that can be removed during class as you warm up.
Q
A
Don't I need to bring a partner?
Only if you want to! We incorporate partner rotation into our classes to provide our students with the opportunity to experience different leading and following styles, and to ensure that everyone has an equal chance to dance. Whether you come alone, with your partner, or with a friend, you are more than welcome to join us and share in our love of dance.
Q
A
When should I arrive for class?
We recommend arriving at least ten minutes before your class starts. This will give you time to change shoes or clothing, mingle with other students, and get a sneak peek of what the class before you has been getting up to. Dancing is a social activity and those pre-class minutes are where some of the most lasting dance friendships begin.
Q
A
Should I practice?
Absolutely! We’ll always give you opportunities to practice social dancing at our studio socials, but we highly recommend getting involved in Brisbane’s social dance scene as early as possible. You get to meet new people, refine your moves in a fun atmosphere, and get inspired to keep learning.
Q
A
When can I start?
