Do I need previous dance experience?
Nope! Our beginner lessons are designed to teach you to dance starting from the ground up. If you have dance experience and are interested in attending the intermediate lessons, you can schedule an evaluation.
Do I need a partner to try out for the comp team?
Nope! If you make the team, we will match you with a partner based on different factors and preferences.
Do I need a partner for social lessons or dances?
Nope! We rotate partners throughout the lessons, and most everyone does not come in with a partner for our social dances. Dancing with different people is a way to learn and improve your skills!
Can I try out a lesson before paying?
Yes! Your first lesson each semester is always free.
What should I wear to lessons?
Clothes that are easy for you to move in. If you are attending intermediate lessons, we recommend wearing dance shoes. You can purchase some from the club or from various other locations.
What should I wear to social dances?
Clothes that are easy for you to move in. We don't require formal attire, but feel free to dress up for the event.
Do I have to be a paying member to go to the monthly social dances?
Nope! Everyone is invited to our social dances (parents, non-GT students and friends, etc.), and entry is free for all!

Competition team members are expected to attend two hours of practice a week. In addition, they are encouraged to practice with their partners at open practice.
