1. Do I need a partner to take the classes?

No. Although all of our classes are partner dances, with the exception of Zumba, you do not need a partner to take the class. We get many people coming without partners. You will find a partner in the class and we change partners during the class so you will have the opportunity to dance with different people. Couples that join the class are also encouraged to rotate partners but are not forced to.

2. What do I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing so you can move with ease.
Please note: Do not wear strong perfumes or colognes as some people have environmental sensitivities. Please remember your personal hygiene, as you will be dancing in close proximity to your partner.

3. What shoes should I wear?

Ladies should wear shoes with a small heel and men should wear leather-soled shoes. Running shoes are not recommended. They are not appropriate for dancing.
No outside shoes are allowed on the dance floor as dirt and water will damage the floor.
Please bring a change of shoes with you.
No shoes are required for Belly Dancing as it is done barefoot.

4. I have taken some classes elsewhere. What level should I be in?

If you have taken lessons elsewhere and would like to join a class in a level higher than the beginner class you must book a 30 minute evaluation session to determine which level is best suited for you. The cost of the evaluation session is $35. Programs are progressive in nature and students must demonstrate competency in the material covered in the session before moving to a higher level. Instructors reserve the right to discourage students from enrolling in a program that is unsuitable for their skill level. 

5. Can I get a refund or credit for classes missed?

No refunds will be issued after the first week of a new session.

Students should make an effort to attend every class in the session. However, if you must miss a class we will allow you to make it up by attending any other class that we offer. ALL MISSED CLASSES MUST BE MADE UP BY THE END OF THE 6 WEEK SESSION. No credits will be given for future sessions.
