FAQ
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. Boots are great but not required. Avoid flip-flops.
Do I need a partner?
Nope. Come solo, we’ll pair you up. Come as a couple, even better.
What’s the difference between Book Now and RSVP?
Book Now = paid workshop. You’re reserving a specific spot. Get Tickets = Highball Thursdays, ticketed through Eventbrite.
How does the waitlist work?
Join when a class is full. If someone cancels, you get a text and email automatically with a booking link. You have 2 hours to claim the spot.
I have two left feet. Is that okay?
That’s literally what beginner classes are for. Eric has turned hundreds of self-described terrible dancers into people who get asked to dance at honky-tonks.
