FAQS

Take Advantage of our Special Offer Lesson. Just $55.00 for 45 minute dance lesson to ‘Try us Out' and allow us 15 minutes to assess your dancing needs. You will get to experience a one on one private lesson with one of our instructors in the dance(s) of your choice. All we need is your preferred date and time to book you!

Private lessons and group classes are a perfect partnership. The structure and customizability of our private lessons will get you to where you want to be as a dancer quicker. However, the variety of our group classes allow you to experience new learned steps with different partners, or take what you learn in a group class and polish it with your instructor

Every class is different, however classes can typically be joined as late as the second week. If you'll miss more than one week, we recommend that you wait until the start of the next series (at the beginning of the next month), as most classes are taught as part of a progressive series. With a progressive series, each week builds on what was taught the previous week(s). Some classes allow newcomers throughout the entire month. Please call the studio to find out more details.

If you feel that you have necessary skills to skip to an upper level class, you will just need to get instructor approval before attending the class.

It varies with each person! Our classes contain quite a bit more material than the average group class, as students need a certain amount of repetition to develop both the mental and physical retention needed to become comfortable in a particular style. The average student who has never taken dance will usually spend 3 - 4 months in any given level before being passed into the next level. Instructors gauge the footwork, lead/follow, and rhythm/musicality level of each student to determine which class will best allow him/her to succeed. If you ever have a question about being passed into the next level, please talk with the instructor!

Because our group classes are geared to adults, students must be at least 18 years old to attend. (We may occasionally make exceptions - on a case-by-case basis - for students 16 - 17 years old to attend adult group classes, with parental approval & a signed release form, and with the understanding that they will be dancing with other adult students of all ages.)

Wear clothes you would feel comfortable moving in. Some people come after work and have business casual attire on, some people wear jeans and t-shirt. Both are perfectly fine. As for shoes, when you first start out a pair a shoes that give you good support and preferably does not have a rubber sole. Eventually as your dancing progresses you will want to consider purchasing a pair of dance shoes. We can certainly help you select and/or order the right shoe.

For your first class: If you have not pre-registered or pre-paid prior to class we recommend arriving 15 - 20 minutes before class begins, otherwise 5-10 minutes prior to class is enough.
