What Should I Wear?


Wear comfortable clothing (except pajamas :-D). Women can bring something sexy if they wish and shoes that slide easily with a closed heel like strap or full heel.

Men need shoes that slide easily. You should not wear any shoes with rubber soles. Almost anything but sneakers.
