What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Dance Practice Shoes
RequiredSuede-soled dance shoes let you pivot and spin safely on wood or tile floors without the grip of street shoes catching your feet mid-turn. Essential for practicing turns at home.
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
RequiredPractice needs music at the right volume to actually feel the beat. A small portable speaker beats phone audio and lets you move around the room without staying near your device.
Latin Dance Instructional DVD or Download
A structured at-home video course gives you a repeatable reference for moves you learned in class and covers the vocabulary of patterns beyond what free YouTube clips provide.
