What to Wear for Your First Dance Series with Galaw!

 





🌟 What to Wear for Your First Dance Series with Galaw!

So you’ve signed up for your first dance class - amazing! Whether you’re gliding through Ballroom, feeling the heat in Bachata, or grooving with West Coast Swing, here’s exactly what you need to know before you step onto the dance floor.

Bachata Ladies Styling - Tuesdays 7:30pm
West Coast Swing - Wednesdays at 6:30pm
Sensual Bachata - Wednesdays at 7:30pm
Ballroom Dancing - Thursdays at 7:00pm

@ Emilia's Studio - 1842 E. Jericho Turnpike, Dix Hills (center of the plaza)

👗 What to Wear:

No fancy wardrobe needed - just clothes you feel comfortable moving in! Think casual, neat, and something that makes you feel good. Slacks, nice jeans, leggings, skirts or dresses that allow you to move freely all work well.

Shoes: You don’t need special dance shoes to start. Clean sneakers are fine - just try to pick a pair with a sole that isn’t too grippy so you can turn without sticking to the floor. Avoid flip-flops (they’ll fly off) and heavy boots (they stick and stomp!).

Ladies: If you have shoes with a smooth sole (like loafers or low heels), even better! 
Men: Dress shoes with a leather sole would work perfectly fine!

👜 What to Bring:

  • A water bottle - you’ll break a sweat in the best way.

  • A small towel if you tend to get warm.

  • Breath mints - trust us, you’ll be glad you did during partner rotations!

  • Your best energy and maybe a friend to share the fun.

⏰ Arrive a Little Early:

Plan to arrive 5 - 10 minutes early, enough time to put your personal items down, change your shoes (if needed), and take a deep breath to shake off your day. You’ll feel more relaxed and ready to dance!

💃 What to Expect:

  • Expect to meet new people - partner dances usually rotate partners so you learn faster and dance with everyone.

  • Your instructor will break everything down step by step - no experience needed.

  • It’s normal to feel a little awkward at first - embrace it! Everyone is learning, everyone stumbles, and everyone laughs about it together.

  • You’ll leave class with new moves, new friends, and maybe a new favorite hobby.

✨ The most important thing to bring? A good attitude! Dancing is about connection, fun, and giving yourself permission to enjoy the learning process.

🌀Keep this in mind "Learning Curve"

Think back to when you learned how to drive -  remember how weird it felt at first?
You had to think about every step: seatbelt, mirrors, ignition. Now, it’s second nature.
Dancing is just like that. At first, it felt awkward. But the more you show up, the more natural it becomes. Be kind to yourself - you’re learning something brand new!

Can’t wait to see you on the dance floor! 🪩💜

What is Galaw?

What is Galaw? Hi, I’m Angela - the founder of Galaw Studio! Galaw was created from a deep love for movement, connection, and personal growth. I wanted to build a space where people could feel free to explore what their bodies can do - not just physically, but emotionally, too. Whether it’s through the rhythm and expression of ballroom dance or the strength and awareness that comes from Pilates, my goal is to help others feel good in their bodies and connected to themselves. About Galaw Studio Galaw means “movement,” and that’s truly at the heart of everything we do. Our studio was built around the idea of "Grow Authentically, Live and Wonder." We believe movement is more than just exercise - it’s a way to discover who you are, to feel more confident, and to enjoy the journey of becoming stronger and more connected with yourself. By blending the elegance of ballroom dance with the core-strengthening, body-awareness benefits of Pilates, we offer something really special for a...

4 Reasons Why Learning Ballroom Without a Partner Is a Blast

  4 Reasons Why Learning Ballroom Without a Partner Is a Blast Think you need a partner to enjoy a ballroom class? Think again! Dancing solo in a group class is not only a great way to learn but also way more fun than you’d expect. Here’s why: 1. You’re the Boss of Your Own Progress No waiting for a partner to practice - you control your own improvement. The more effort you put in, the faster you level up! Without relying on someone else schedule, you can focus when you want to practice to refine your technique, timing, and styling at your own pace. Plus, when you do dance with a partner, they’ll appreciate your confidence and clarity in movement. 2. Confidence on Demand Dancing solo forces you to own your movement - no hiding behind a partner. Just you, the music, and your soon-to-be impressive skills. Learning to trust your own body builds confidence, which translates to better posture, stronger styling, and an overall commanding presence on the dance floor. By the time you ...
