Addresses: Crystal Park Sport and Health - 2231 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202 McLean Regency Sport and Health- 1800 Old Meadow Road, McLean VA

Apparel: Please make sure to invest in some dance pants and something decent for a top. For men, we offer black abada capoeira pants at the online DSE store (see top of webpage) for $50. Also, BRING SOMETHING WARM for the training. There will be times in between dances that we will sit and talk, and the room can get cool then, so you will want to have a sweater of some sort, and possibly leg warmers.

Shoes: You will need to be able to swivel without hurting your knees, so I highly recommend that you have one of the two following types of shoes for dancing ballroom, latin, or an aerobic program like DSE:

1. Regular athletic shoes modified at a shoe repair shop to have Suede placed onto the bottoms. If you are in the DC area, one reliable shop for such a service is the Alexandria Shoe Repair and Leather Service in Alexandria at 124 North Fayett Street, Alexandria, VA (703-549-8133). Ask for Barbara and tell her Todd sent you to get the “Suede modification” to your shoes.

2. Dance Sneakers. These won’t provide as much support as modified athletic shoes, but they do provide swivel so will be adequate for the short term. 3. Dance shoes
