We recommend anything comfortable that you can move around in. We would also suggest wearing layers as it can get quite hot swing dancing. Most people come straight from work and do not bother changing though it’s wise to bring a change of top with you for the journey home. For footwear, we recommend flat shoes or plimsolls; high heels can be very difficult to swing dance in! We recommend shoes with hard-leather or suede soles for dancing Balboa in.
Look at all our lovely new dancers! Here’s our gallery of our Learn to Dance in a Day workshops of 2026 starting their new Swing Dance journey. If you would like to join them, have a look at all our beginner workshops here.
