You may register for classes in the following ways.

- Email: You can also register by contacting us via email.
Don't forget that by registering in advance for a dance class you will save yourself $$$. There are no pre-registration discounts for practicas or drop-in students. Pre-registration closes at midnight the night before the class begins.
If you are pre-registering via telephone or Email please make sure that you provide us with your full name, phone number and Email. Please be certain to specify the class or classes you wish to take.
In order to better organize our classes we ask that you please pre-register. By pre-registering for a session you will receive a discount and secure yourself a place in the class (see class sizes below).
IF YOU PRE-REGISTER BUT FOR ANY REASON CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE FIRST CLASS OF THE SESSION YOU MUST LET US KNOW. YOUR PLACE WILL NOT BE HELD OTHERWISE!
Wait Lists
- PLEASE SHOW UP 10 minutes before class the first week.
- IF YOU SHOW UP 5 minutes after class is supposed to start, and you are not on a wait list (but there is a wait list for the class) you will probably loose your space.
-
IF YOU ARE ON A WAIT LIST:
- we need you to come on time (5-10 min before the class starts)
- check in with the registration desk when you arrive
- wait patiently until we call your name (about 2-5 minutes after class starts—due to the nature of the wait list we usually start & stop class 5 minutes late the first week)
- if you are on a wait list (and don't show up) you will not have your space reserved.
Class Sizes
To ensure the best possible instruction for all of our students we prefer to keep to a 30 student maximum in all classes. (In order to balance the lead/follow ratio we may need to let a few more students in.)
Once a class has reached its capacity (during the registration process) you will have the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list.
A minimum of 4 students is also preferred ...so it may be necessary to cancel a class should an insufficient number of students sign up.
No Partner Required
All of our partner classes are taught with both leads and follows rotating partners frequently throughout the class. All students are strongly encouraged to rotate in our group classes, however we are open to students special requests not to.
By pre-registering for a class you help us to maintain an even lead to follow ratio.
