Proper Footwear
Shoes: It’s important to wear the right shoes for salsa dancing or most other dances we teach at DanceSport Dupont. Choose shoes that can pivot on a tile surface and have flat bottoms or medium heels. Good ankle support is also good for your comfort and safety.
Creating a Safe Dance Environment
To foster a welcoming environment for everyone, we have a few guidelines:
Please refrain from offering feedback to other students while on the dance floor. Our instructors are available to answer any questions.
We believe dance roles (lead and follow) should not be bound to gender. Our classes use de-gendered language, and we encourage all participants to embrace this approach.
Our priorities are creating a safe space, ensuring everyone has fun, and learning to salsa dance.
