Dance Because... It's Ballroom FAQs

 New & Current Student FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
             
                 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cancellation Policy:

Life happens and sometimes you may not make a scheduled ballroom dance lesson.  In the event you need to reschedule, please email or call me as far in advance as possible and you will not be charged for a cancelled/changed lesson if it's more than 24 hours in advance.  Any cancellation within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment will result in a $15 fee added to your next lesson.  If I am able to fill your cancelled slot then I will gladly waive the cancellation fee for you.

What do I bring to my ballroom dance lesson?

  • Water - to say hydrated.
  • Clean shoes to change into so the dance floor remains free of dirt from the outside.
  • For Wedding dance couples, cd of song choice(s) to dance to (If I don't already have your song) 
  • For Wedding dance couples, it's recommended to practice in your wedding shoes for a lesson or two.

What do I wear to my ballroom dance lesson?

The dress code is casual.  I want you to be comfortable so you can wear jeans, slacks, business casual, or workout gear.  No special outfits are needed.  Wear comfortable shoes, preferably with leather soles. No flip-flops or slip-on shoes.

How do I buy ballroom dance shoes?

Selecting a pair of ballroom dance shoes out of the hundreds you may see in a catalog is no easy task.  I recommend Patterson's Back Bay Dancewear in Burlington, MA.  They have the largest in-stock selection in the area of both men and ladies ballroom dance shoes, knowledgable sales people to help with your questions, and give you a 10% discount if you take private dance lessons or ballroom dance classes.   Be sure to mention Dance Because and take a business card along with you.  Enjoy shopping!!   http://www.backbaydancewear.com/
