Dress Code:
Casual, comfortable sweats or yoga pants, (preferably) salsa practice
shoes (for turns and spins on a wooden dance floor). If you don't have
salsa shoes, you can wear your evening dance shoes. Tennis shoes will
inhibit your spins and may ruin your knees over time. You can go to the DWG Store to see if you find something you like or go online and check out shoes
like Supadance or International. They can get pricey but make a world of
difference when you dance.
Check out Grace's Shoe Clues Chapter in her Salsa With
Grace Instructional Video so she can explain why you need good dance
shoes, which pair you should buy first and how to take care of them!
Purchase our Salsa Videos.
Directions:
Promenade Dance Sport Facility is located at 2605 Lord Baltimore Drive. For directions and more information click here.

7. Is Dancing A Sin?
Have you ever wondered if dance is a sin? Many of us have been taught about God (the creator of Heaven & Earth). What does He say about Dance? To read Grace's article, "Is Dancing A Sin" click here:
Grace would love to know your opinion. Email her at grace@dancingwithgrace.com
Check out the last email I received about this article:
Hi Grace-
I loved your article on dancing. I grew up being told it was a sin…so I was prohibited from dancing. So guess what I wanted to do most of my life? Yep!
BTW…Is there a sinful form of dancing?…of course. And there is a sinful form of eating, driving cars, watching TV, recreating, etc.
I loved your take on the issue. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned and experienced.
As a Baptist Minister, and Christian radio Talk show host I now enjoy dancing with my wife…and I DON’T CARE anymore what the legalists say.
Neil
PS I’m not much of a dancer…but it’s fun, and I hate the fact that the enemy tried to steal it from God’s people. Well, I am committed to taking it back!
