SOME FAQ'S

Do I need to know how to dance?

NO. This event is for non-dancers and dancers alike.

What to wear?

This event is very informal so wear whatever you are comfortable in. We suggest wearing layers so you can easily regulate your body temperature. The dance floor is bare earth so be mindful it can either be dusty or a little muddy. Hence please wear normal outdoor shoes that are light and comfortable and you don't mind getting a little dirty. However please feel free to dress up however you like.

Do I need a partner?

No. You can come on your own or with a partner. There is a mix of solo and partner dancing available.
