Floor and shoes: the floor is smooth granite tile.
- I and a friend tested suede shoes, Taygras, Fuegos, Blochs and all of them worked well with the surface (affording for comfortable turns and spins). So basically any of your dance shoes should work well. As with any new dance floor - I recommend bringing several different shoes you own and trying out which ones feel best for you on a given surface.
- If the shoes you brought on the day are not working that well - come talk to me I have a way of making them slippier!

Restroom info: there are public restrooms & water dispensers nearby in Salesforce Transit Center (2nd floor) - https://maps.app.goo.gl/16HHKg6UdohPeSen8
Parking: Limited experience so far, but people reported that finding parking nearby (Mission str, Howard str) was fairly straightforward during the times we were there.
