For further information:

What to wear:

Dress casually - something that you will not get too hot in!

You may want to bring a towel, perhaps change of top & deodorant etc

FOOTWEAR:

Ideally, dance shoes, but otherwise just comfortable footwear (stilletto shoes are not practical-especially for men!)

It is always a good idea to bring another pair of shoes to the pair you arrive wearing, as many venues do not like "outdoor" shoes as they tend to mess up the dance floor surface.
