Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to bring a partner for the classes?
Absolutely no! You can attend the classes individually or with your friends. As partners will be rotated in class, it will be a great way to meet new friends!
Q: Can I attend the classes even if I have never danced before?
As long as you are interested in the dance, it doesn’t matter if you have any dance experience! Our instructors are trained to teach individuals from zero dance background to experience dancers. Our school emphasis on detailed teaching and strong fundamental building best suits all especially students who had never danced before.
Q: What if I miss a class, how do I make-up for the class?
There are a few options for students who miss classes. Our classes are structured so that we quickly review over last weeks class. Be sure not to miss two classes in a row. Lastly, our last class is a review of all our classes. This will give you a chance to catch up on any classes you've missed.
Q: I have attended other dance classes before, which level should I begin in?
Our instructors will usually conduct a short 5 min assessment to better advise on which is a suitable level for the student to join in. This will ensure all our students are attending a suitable course at their own comfortable pace.
Q: What kind of attire & footwear should I wear for the class?
Attire:
Just come in anything you feel comfortable in and allows you to move freely. Preferably Work out or gym attire will be better.
Footwear:
For ladies, it is recommended to wear dance heels/ jazz shoes/dance sneakers for class. If you do not own any of these types of shoes, comfortable track shoes or heels with back ankle straps are also acceptable.
No flip flops for class though!
