Frequently Asked Questions
- When and where are the classes? Do I need a partner?
All our classes are held on a Wednesday at the University of London Union building. You don't need a partner to come along, but feel free to bring one if you do! Please see our Classes page for more information.
- Can I become a member? How do I join?
To become a Balads member you must have a ULU card. These are free for ULU students. Students from non-ULU colleges, as well as ULU staff and graduates, can also get ULU cards for a small fee. Please see our Membership page for more details.
- Do I need special shoes or clothing for the classes?
There is no need to buy special clothing or shoes for our classes. Wear something comfortable that allows you to move, and shoes with a slightly slippery sole are better. Ladies may want to wear shoes with a small heel, but it is important that they are fastened securely. If you do wish to purchase special dance clothing or shoes, please contact our Costume Manager.
