Hi,
and welcome to the forum!!!
There are absolutely NO fitness prerequisites for coming along and having a good time!!
We have ALL shapes and sizes and quite a large age span too and all are most welcome and are equally likely to get hooked!
The class section is taught at walking pace, and then with quite slow, easy beat, music. Thereafter it's up to you to decide how energetic or not you feel like being, if you don't feel up to the fast tracks (there won't be many that we would class as "fast" ...apart from anything else CG the DJ can't peddle his turntable THAT fast!.)
If you do get hooked and come back you WILL see an amount of quicksteppin, high energy, on the toes stuff but IMHO it doesn't predominate....and you will find that a lot of the girls at least much prefer a man who takes his time
and dances well to the slow stuff!
And shoes, well there must be hundreds of pages on here on the issue of shoes!!! Again it's different strokes for different folks, there are literally hundreds of options from smelly old trainers
to the most sparkly of ballroom type heels (and that's just the men). To start with wear the shoes you feel most comfortable in, you really don't want to be thinking about your feet much at all at first so the ore comfortable you are the less likely they will put you off the flow of the dance. Can't tell if you are male or female! so to cover everything, lots of people ,both male and female wear trainers and do very well in them, as you progress you are likely to find them a bit sticky for spinning and/or sliding and want something with a smoother sole.
Some girls can't dance in flat shoes, some can't dance in heels, it really doesn't matter and all comes back again to, wear what's most comfortable. If you're not sure why not bring a selection??
And finally, once you're well and truly hooked you may well find yourself trying to sell all your worldly possessions on E-bay in order to finance your dance shoe habit. When this happens it's best just to roll with it, there is no cure.
Look forward to seeing you there!!
