FAQs

Do I need a partner?: You don't need a partner but if you have one then great so come on your own or with a friend; We rotate partners during the class which allows people to progress much faster than they would if they stayed with the same partner where people end up compensating for each others mistakes; While rotating is the most effective way to learn there are reasons why a couple may wish to stay together, let our taxi dancers know if you would like to stay with your partner during the class

When can I start?: Start anytime and on any day of the week that we run classes. We don't run terms or courses, any week is a good week to start. We get new people starting each week; No need to book or phone ahead - just turn up; Check our home page before you come - occasional venue changes occur when a school needs the use of their hall

Anything I need to bring?: A named water bottle is good. There is water at all the venues but no cups.; Clothing you're comfortable in, you can dance in anything. You might get warm so wear something cool or have a layer you can take off; Comfortable shoes that aren't too grippy. Flat soled shoes are better than gym shoes - no stilettos and no bare feet

What if I struggle?: We have dedicated helpers called taxi dancers who are here for the new dancers; There are no mistakes - only variations. Smile when it goes right 🙂 - laugh when it goes wrong! 😄

How many people attend each night?: Anywhere between 40 and 120 depending on the night and time of year, so there's quite a buzz to the classes
