Yes. In these dances partners keep changing, and most people come without a fixed partner.

Do I need dance experience?

No. Many nights have an intro for newcomers, and practicas are for practising, not performing.

Comfortable clothes and shoes you can turn in. Smooth soles help, sneakers are fine to start with.

Which dance is best to start with?

Swing and bal folk are known as especially beginner friendly, because the basic steps come quickly and the mood is relaxed.

How to join a dance night without a partner

In swing, tango, bal folk and salsa, partners rotate all evening. You do not dance with the same person all night, but with many. That is why most people come alone.

Many nights start with a short intro for newcomers. After that you simply ask someone for a dance, or get asked yourself.
