Partners
Do I need to bring a partner?
No. When you do privates lessons, your teacher is your partner. When in a group class, everyone switches dance partners frequently while learning and there will be social practice. Thus, if there is a shortage and someone has to practice dance alone, then it will not be for long.
Can I dance with my partner only in group classes or at social events?
Yes, this is not uncommon. Just let the instructor of the group class know so that your desires can be accommodated. However, please give thought to dancing with others; it will help you learn much more quickly if you dance with different people. At social events, you may dance with whomever you wish.
Do I need to dance with people I am partnered with in group classes?
You will never be forced to dance with someone. You can opt to not dance for a period if you feel uncomfortable at that time. However, you also need to accept that people might choose to opt out of dancing with you. If that happens, then do not worry; partners are swapped frequently so you will never be 'stuck' with anyone. However, it is asked that you try to dance with anyone you are partnered with. Everyone is asked to be open and accepting of others in group class so that we can all learn together.
What do I do if there is someone or something making me feel uncomfortable?
This is an understandable situation. Something makes you feel uneasy, but you do not want to mention it in case you hurt someone's feelings. If there is something that you feel uncomfortable with, then you can message the management between class for them to deal with it prior to the next class.
