FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a dance partner to join classes?
No partner is required at all! In every class, we rotate partners frequently. This is the fastest way to develop lead/follow sensitivity and meet fellow students in a friendly setting.
What if I have two left feet and zero rhythm?
Over 80% of our students started with zero prior dance experience. Our foundational syllabus breaks down rhythm and timing into simple, approachable counts that anyone can master.
What should I wear to dance class?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. For footwear, smooth-soled shoes or sneakers work well for beginners. Dance shoes with suede soles are optional.
Does my monthly membership cover both locations?
Yes! The TTD Monthly Unlimited membership gives you full reciprocal access to both our Port of Spain and Arima studio sessions with zero restrictions.
