Dancing on the Shore
Policies & FAQ
FAQ
1. What should I wear to class?
Clothing should be comfortable attire. Foot wear should be either a dance shoe or a
leather sole / lightly rubber soled shoe. Please do not wear sneakers or back less
shoes. If need be you can participate in stocking feet.
2. Can I come without a partner?
Of course!! In group lessons we will rotate partners so everyone gets a chance to
dance or you will dance with the instructor if you come without a partner
3. Will I have to change partner's in group lessons?
Possibly. If the class is all couples then no you will not have to change partners. If
there are single students in the class then yes, the class will have to change partners.
Changing partners is an excellent way to learn to lead and follow. If you are
uncomfortable with changing partners please call Amanda at 410- 482- 6169.
Private lessons may be the best option.
4. Where can I use what I learn in class?
Dancing on the shore holds a dance party once a month. This is an excellent place to
use what you have learned. Also, there are several local USA dance chapters which
hold dances on a monthly basis in Easton, Dover and Salisbury.
5. What is better a private or a group lesson?
Both are great! Group lessons are a great place to socialize and meet new people they
are a good way to get started in dancing at a low cost. Private lessons are excellent
for more one on one attention. Especially for those preparing for a special event such
as a wedding, vacation, or party.
