semester classes are the soft landing place for our traditional dance disciplines.
enrollment is closed after the first class each semester so you will be dancing with the same magical humans all semester long. this also means dancers can settle comfortably into their own pace and relevant experience.

fall semester F.A.Q.
Q: where can I find specifics about each offering?
select the class you are excited about in the schedule above - this will take you to the booking page where you can read the full description, review pricing and book!
Q: do i need a partner for west coast swing?
no! we will be rotating partners throughout this class - enjoying the ‘social’ part of social dancing. :)
[couples may specifically request not to rotate]
we know life happens! especially over a 10-week period. teachers plan around potential absences and while we hope you can make each class - we will help you catch up after any missed classes.
Q: what if i miss a class?
classes with specific levels are included in the name of the class - “new to ballet”, “beg / int” or “advanced”. that being said - we know levels are pretty subjective - so the description of the class will further clarify where you fit.
classes without a level designation in the title are ‘open level’ - meaning the class is welcoming to ALL levels and will be taught inclusively to a wide range of skills.
Q: what level are these classes?
if class is cancelled by the studio [due to weather or teacher illness] and a make-up class cannot be arranged, you will be pro-rated the amount in a credit onto your account. this credit will not expire and can be used on any classes, gift cards, merch, etc. sold at Rio.
Q: what if class is cancelled?
specifics of what to wear are included in the description of each semester - that being said, WEAR WHAT YOU WANT. this is one of the fun parts about adult spaces, you can wear whatever the heck you want. our suggestions are based on our experience for comfort and success but you are also free to express yourself.
