Hi there! Welcome to the sub, don't be afraid to ask us anything that comes to mind related to the dance or the music. Bachata is primarily a partner dance, so start with those classes. Solo classes will often work on styling and footwork, things that you can use later on in your voyage to improve your basics. As said by OSUfirebird18, see with the teacher if it's possible to join the class at this point. It's possible they move pretty quickly, or they don't want to spend too much time explaining the very basics again, and in that case it might be better to jump in at the start of the next course. Or they could be super chill and just invite you to come try, give you extra input and care and bring you up to speed in no time. No way of knowing! And yeah, clothing, whatever you feel good in and can move around in. Know that you'll be moving your arms, so check that everything stays comfortable while you lift your arms up, or reach out to the side or front. You should also be able to gently bend your knees, but don't worry if you can't do a squat without ripping your pants, you should never go so low (in 99.99% of moves). Shoes, as also already very well said, should not be grippy. I dance almost exclusively on cheap sneakers, because the soles are so 'bad' that they're actually good for dancing and twisting my feet, without breaking my ankles or knees. In case you wanna wear a dress or a skirt (it's spring, soon it'll be summer!), watch out how high it spins up when you twirl, and you can always preemptively wear shorts under them.
