No partner is required. Group classes in Stockholm operate on mandatory partner rotation so every dancer practices with multiple partners. At social dances, it is standard etiquette for leads and follows of all skill levels to ask each other for a dance.
Most salsa socials open with an introductory beginner lesson around 20:00–21:00, followed by open social dancing. Peak dance floor energy usually runs from 22:30 until 02:00, with European clubs often continuing until 04:00 or later.
Smart casual is standard. Beginners can wear comfortable sneakers or flat shoes with low-traction soles that allow easy turning on hardwood floors. Regular dancers use suede or leather-soled Latin dance shoes. Breathable fabrics are strongly recommended.
