Q.
WHAAAAAT? AFRAID TO TAKE A DANCE CLASS?
A.
Humans move and dance by nature. Even if you can’t remember the last time you busted any kind of move, it can be pretty much guaranteed that as a child, you danced. It will serve you well to remember that at one time, even before skilled in walking let alone dancing, moving brought you joy.
Forget “natural” ability. Things like movement retention, strength, agility, flexibility… these skills get better with practice over time. Where better to practice than in a regular class? Try any of our Level 101 classes as a perfect start!
Q.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR ME?
A.
- Level 101: For absolute beginners who have never danced before.
- Level 1: Basic introductory level for beginners and anyone with minimal experience in that style.
- Level 2: Intermediate level for those who have a strong understanding of the basics and terminology.
- Level 3: Advanced level only for experienced dancers with a strong knowledge base of the technique.
- Open Level: Mixed level, normally between a level 1 & level 2, but depends on the overall experience of the students in the class.
If you are still not sure which level is the right one for you, we suggest you drop in to try the class. If you register for a class that is not the correct level please speak to your teacher and our Admin team. Sometimes it’s a guessing game but we are happy to let you try a couple until we find the perfect match!
