Frequently asked questions
Some of the most commonly asked questions from students.
Do I need to have a partner to join a group or private class?
No, you are not required to have a partner to join a group class. Students are rotated during the class so you get to dance with different people.
You also don’t need a partner for a private lessons. You will be dancing with the instructors. Regardless of male or female instructor, all instructors know both the lead and follow moves and you will be learning the same material.
Do I Need to register for class ahead of time?
Yes, you should always reserve every class you plan to attend. Spots are limited. You should also know that we have a 5-hour cancellation window for group classes and a 24-hour window for private lessons.

Do I need to have any type of dance experience before I join Classes?
Most of our students find our class pace just right. However, everyone learns at a different pace. If you find the class difficult, there are plenty of instructors and volunteers to assist you during the class. Outings and socials are a great way to practice moves but we also recommend practising at home after your class.
Private lessons are another option to assist you in understanding and executing the movements covered in the class as well as improving your skills (please see our Private Lessons section for further details). Finally, students are encouraged to repeat a class at a discounted rate to ensure that they have grasped all the moves and concepts.

Group classes
These are classes where multiple students learn and practice a particular dance style together. Group classes are usually scheduled at specific times and days, and are led by a dance instructor. Group classes provide a social environment and a chance to interact with other dancers.
Private classes
These are one-on-one classes between a student and a dance instructor. Private classes are personalized and tailored to the specific needs and goals of the student. They offer a more focused and individualized learning experience, and the student can progress at their own pace.
Workshops
These are intensive classes that focus on a specific dance style or topic. They provide an opportunity for students to learn and practice new skills and techniques, and to gain a deeper understanding of a particular dance style or topic.
