We encourage everyone, men and women, to lead and to follow. Please, wear comfortable shoes with leather or suede soles. To preserve the wonderful wooden floors, we ask that you do not wear street or rubber soled shoes or sneakers, except dance sneakers. To dance tango, high heels for women are NOT necessary! If it is not comfortable to walk in shoes, it is not going to be comfortable to dance in them.
Please check our links and find out where to get comfortable shoes.
