For new students: Frequently Asked Questions Can I attend classes if I’m a beginner?... Yes! Some classes are paced more for a beginner. All levels are welcome in every class. You have to give the craft of dance at least 2 years before you start to feel comfortable. Just like playing an instrument, it takes time and lots of practice. Your body is your instrument. Give it patience, time, and lots of love. Is there a registration fee? Is there a session? No registration fees. We offer classes on a drop-in basis. Thus, you can come when you want; although the only way to get better is to come often. What should I wear? Workout wear is fine. It’s fun to dress funky for hip hop though! Dance shoes are helpful but not required. Please do not wear outside shoes on our dance floor. For lyrical/contemporary class: bare feet, socks, or jazz/ballet shoes are great. For tap class: tap shoes. For hip hop class: shoes worn only inside, sneakers, or jazz sneakers. Do you add on to choreography every week? Some classes progress each week. That being said, in almost all of our classes we teach only 810 phrases per class, and we repeat it a lot. Find out more about our dance classes and choreography rotation.
