Long sessions
We are offering Adult classes in 2 semesters, from September to December, and January to May. Register for 1 semester, committing to all weeks each month of that semester (Sept to Dec, or Jan to May). Tuition is billed monthly and is due at the start of every month.
short sessions
Dance in a class for a short commitment of 4 weeks. Styles of dance change each month. 4 week sessions are more progressive and detailed compared to a drop-in class. Work on the same choreography of a longer dance routine of your favourite style of dance, allowing you to feel confident with the movements and add expression or dynamics each time you add onto the dance.

Wednesday 8:00 – 9:30 pm we are having a “performance team”. Each session will focus on teaching and cleaning 1 dance routine with a performance at the end of the session.
