What if I can’t participate every week?
Absences from classes can be made up during the same term in any other class or drop-in session. This way, no dance session will be wasted! Read more.
What should I bring with me?
For the class, it is recommended to wear clothes that are comfortable to move around in. You can dance with indoor sneakers, dance shoes, or socks. Some classes involve floor exercises, and for these we recommend bringing knee pads or leg warmers to protect your knees. Knee pads are also available for purchase in our online store and studios. Also take a water bottle with you and remember to drink enough after class.
