Dance Class Overview
  • Classes are 50 minutes long for beginners.
  • Please try to be on time for class.
  • The upper body warm-up is very important to get your body and mind stimulated (not to mention it is good exercise).
  • The foot exercises at the barre are to work on the strength of your feet and improve the quality of your sound.
  • Please, no gum chewing allowed.
  • Please refrain from wearing perfume or cologne (we all need to breathe).
  • In order to remember dances already learned, we will review them at the end of each class.
  • You may wear whatever makes you comfortable.
