common questions
- i've never danced before — where should i start?
- look for events with 'learn' in the name or 'beginner-friendly' on the card. they're built for first-timers.
- do i need a partner?
- no. partner-rotation is the default at every social dance night on this list. you'll dance with a dozen people in a single evening.
