EQUIPMENT
It’s best to choose comfortable, movement-friendly clothing. Suitable shoes for R’n’S dances include low-heeled dance shoes or, for example, sneakers or indoor sports shoes. Since our classes can sometimes be quite vigorous, we recommend bringing a water bottle and a towel. Also, bring a friendly and relaxed attitude — let others enjoy and learn in peace.
COME WITH A PARTNER OR WITHOUT
You don’t need your own partner to attend the courses, as we practice partner rotation in our classes. However, you are also welcome to come with your own partner. Participating in the partner rotation is not mandatory, but we highly recommend it, especially in the beginning. It helps you learn leading and following correctly.
DANCE PARTIES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
We have free practice sessions (“vapaavuoro”) for different dance styles, which are great for gaining dance experience and revisiting what you’ve learned in the courses. Additionally, there are jams and parties (“jamit” “bileet”) 1-3 times a month, where you can dance to diverse music played by a DJ. Dance nights are also an excellent opportunity to meet other dancers in a relaxed atmosphere. And they are for free!
You can find information about these and other events on our website, Facebook, and Instagram.
