You will be required to sign an agreement stating that you will not use DSE routines, material, or products without the proper certification and authorization from DanceSport Endurance LLC. DSE is a Trademarked and Copyrighted product. Also, you will have to agree not to teach the DSE format by a different name. Finally, you will be required to request permission prior to using DSE derived email lists for promoting products other than DSE.

Apparel:

Trainees should wear professional looking aerobic pants/shorts and tops. Bring an extra change of clothes and something warm to put on during breaks and discussions. DSE logo t-shirts may be available for sale on site.

Shoes:

We carry Ultimate Hybrid dance shoes which work very well for DSE. Other shoes can also work well, as long as you can swivel in them. 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 teaching DSE:

1. regular athletic shoes modified at a shoe repair shop to have suede glued to the bottom (ball of foot) for swiveling/twisting/turning

2. dance sneakers (Capezio, Bloch)

3. other dance fitness sneakers (Nike, Ryka, and Skechers have versions)

4. Ultimate Hybrid dance shoes (recommended)

Food

There is a cafe in the club and there are restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores within close distance. You are advised to bring drinks and snacks to keep you hydrated and nourished.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
