Q: where can I find specifics about each offering?
select the semester in the embedded schedule above via the ‘semester tab’ and it will take you to the booking page - here you will fine everything you need to know about each semester offering!
Q: do i need a partner for social dancing?
no! we will be rotating partners throughout each class.
if you would prefer not to rotate partners, we are happy to accommodate. please communicate this directly with your teacher.
Q: what if i need to miss a class?
we know life happens! especially over a 6- or 10-week period. though we do not offer individual make-up classes, your teachers will not let you fall behind.
additionally, most semesters will have a designated google drive folder where updates, videos, and more can all be found. if you need to miss a week of class - this where you can catch up! find your google drive link here.
Q: what level are these classes?
classes with specific levels are indicated in the name of the class by the number. you can find out more specifics about what these numbers mean here.
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. some dancers will have more experience than you, others will have less - we all get to dance together. :)
Q: what if one of my semester classes is cancelled?
if class is cancelled by the studio [due to weather or teacher absense] you will be credited for the missed instruction, one missed class = one credit. credits do not expire and can be used for any drop-in or event!
Q: what should i wear to my class?
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.
for tap specifically, we have most tap shoe sizes at the studio for you to borrow while you shop for your own pair.
Q: what if the level / style is not what i expected?
we will work with you personally to find a style / level that better suits your dance dreams! though semesters are not refundable, we do want you to be in a class that feels inspiring and safe for you.
sometimes it’s a matter of being brave and sticking with something that feels new and uncomfortable, and sometimes a style or level switch will very easily do the trick! <3
