Add-On Classes

 

In addition to our tracked classes, we host a variety of add-on classes you may purchase. These classes allow you an opportunity to choose specific topics you’d like to take. There are a limited number of spots available for each class. We recommend getting these add-ons when you first register so that you reserve your spot.

Please be sure to review the schedule closely to not double book yourself when purchasing add-on classes.

Our classes are intended to provide a space for everyone to practice together and work as a group. Therefore, by attending classes, you consent to rotate and dance with everyone in the class. If you need a break to think or rest your legs, feel free to step out of the rotation, or take a seat in the classroom, there will be chairs available. If there are any other issues, please contact us or reach out to a member of the dancer concierge who will be present in each class.
