      What should I wear?

        Wear something comfortable, but ladies, please don't wear open-toed shoes. As you are
        learning, there will inevitably be occasions when, yes, he might step on your toes.
        (You also will learn how to dance with him so that your toes are always clear.)
        Also, ladies, don't wear your actual wedding shoes to the first lesson, though if you have
        similar heels, they are fine. A good rule is just to wear comfortable shoes, but not flip flops
        or sandles, as they are difficult to dance in.
