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.

We encourage everyone – men and women – to learn both – to lead and to follow. To dance tango, high heels for women
are NOT necessary! If it’s not comfortable to walk in shoes, it’s not going to be comfortable and fun to dance in them.

Check our links and find out where to get comfortable shoes to dance.
