What if I have never taken a dance class before?

We welcome all beginner dancers and have classes designed just for you! Our Absolute Beginners (AB) classes are designed for those students who have little or no training in that specific style of dance. We recommend you start at these levels and progress to higher level classes the more comfortable you become. Classes that do not have a level specification are good for all levels, including beginner dancers. Please be aware that your instructor reserves the right to refuse your participation in class if they feel the level is too high for you. We want you to be safe and learn in a healthy atmosphere, and sometimes jumping to a level that is too high may result in injury and disruptions for other dancers in class. New students, start your journey here. 

Do I need a partner for Latin Dance Classes?

Latin classes are a great way to meet new people, pre-covid, signing up with a partner was not required. However, as long as we are operating under our Covid-19 Safety Guidelines, you will need to sign up with a partner. Dancers must remain masked and there will be no partner rotations.

What if I'm late to class?

Please arrive 10 min before your class starts. Arriving late will disrupt the flow of the class. If you come less than 15 minutes after your class has started, you’ll be allowed to join your class. Your lateness may incur a late cancellation fee if you arrive later than 15 minutes after your class has started. We understand that things may happen along the way out of your control that may cause you to be late, however, we have to put the safety of our community (and that includes your safety) above everything else.

Are there lockers and showers?

Lockers are not yet available, however, showers are available. Bring a towel and appropriate toiletries.

What is the dress code for classes?

Dress code depends on class type and is usually listed in the class description in the schedule. We enforce a strict No Outdoor Shoes policy to keep our dance floors clean and safe. If it's snowing or raining, wet shoes will not be allowed on the dance floor. We have a great in-studio store where you can purchase dance shoes, Latin heels, leotards, tights, yoga pants, leg warmers and more. Shop dance wear. 

How large are the classes and what is the general age range?

At City Dance Corps, quality surpasses quantity. Class sizes vary on the dance style and studio space and we limit spaces to offer comfortable and personable teaching/learning environments. At the current moment, our class sizes depend on the regional COVID-19 by-laws regarding gathering limits. Currently, each class is capped to accommodate physical distancing guidelines. This number ranges depending on the size of the studio. To participate in adult class, you must be 18 years of age or older. Youth classes are offered for dancers age 1 - 17.

How can I pay for my classes?

We highly recommend that all classes be paid for in advance through our City Dance Corps app or website. We are accepting Drop-Ins for which you can pay with cash or card.

How do private lessons work?

Private lessons can be taken in any style of dance with your instructor of choice. Fill out the private lesson request form or email us at info@citydancecorps.com to set up one-on-one sessions. We do our best to accommodate your schedule.
