Yes! Review all information on how to get started with practice here.

Will I get my own room? Typically not, practice will be in one of our shared ballrooms.

Can I reserve the small room? This room is reserved for private lessons at all times, but it may be used for practice if available.

Can I play my own music? You are welcome to play music from our system, however, if private lessons are happening in that room they will have priority over the music played.

Where on the floor should I practice if there are multiple dancers? Follow typical dance floor etiquette; stationary dances in the center of the floor, traveling dances on the outside track traveling in a counter-clockwise direction.

If I reserve in advance, is my spot guaranteed? Occasionally things come up on short notice, in the event that your spot is not available we will contact you with as much notice as possible.
