No. We do our best to make our classes balanced between men and women or as we refer to students “leads and follows”
This is how we organize our levels. 1 = Beginner 2 = Beyond Beg. 3 = Intermediate/Advanced
You can take either a or b first. It doesn’t matter. But you do want to take both. The material is different but still at the same level.

These are recommendations. You can start out with whatever you have available for now.We recommend that you bring your shoes. This keeps them clean and dry.
Shoes work best if they are boots or shoes that lace, or buckle. This keeps them on your feet without your toes needing to grip them. Slip-ons are not recommended.
The bottom or sole of the shoe works best if it slides. The best material is either suede (aka: brushed leather) or leather.
The heel should be the same height that you are used to wearing at least in the beginning. After you have danced for a while you may decide to change the heel.
The last thing is to dedicate this pair of shoes to dancing only. Don’t wear them outside and keep them clean. A lot of people have a shoe bag or boot bag they keep them in. Change your shoes inside the facility before class and change back after class.
At the Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn we carry a line of both Dance Boots and Dance Shoes. These are designed specifically for dancing. They are very lightweight, comfortable and a perfect sole for the dance floor.
Dave Serfling designed a dance shoes for Swing dancing and Ballroom dancing. It works just fine for other styles of dance as well. The brand is RH Dance Shoes and are only available at the Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn. Try on a pair you’ll love them.
The Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn is a distributor for Evenin’ Star Dance Boots. We carry a selection of sizes for men and women in both medium and wide widths. Also available in colors: Black, Brown, Skintone and Red. If we don’t have your exact size we can order them for you. Try on a pair and see why they are better for dancing.
First, you should be comfortable. If this is your first dance class we want you to feel at home in class. You may be nervous the first time you do something new so we want you to try to just have fun.
Dress in lightweight clothes but in layers.
You might want to bring a cardigan sweater or light-weight jacket you can slip off during class.
If it is really cold outside don’t wear a turtle neck or sweatshirt to class. Wear lightweight clothes and a big heavy coat so you can take it off when you get here. Then you can shed layers as you warm up.
We keep the heat lower than you would find in an office or retail store because you will be exercising and getting hot. When you arrive it may even feel cool, but once you start dancing you’ll be glad we don’t keep it too warm.
You will probably want to follow most of what you read in the last question but depending on what the theme is for the night you are coming dancing you may want to adjust to that.
