WHEN SHOULD I JOIN DANCE LESSONS?

BEGINNER COURSES

Beginner courses are mainly held on Fridays starting at 5:00 PM and are part of Beginners Friday. hours.

It is recommended to attend these at the start of the course, but you can usually join in as early as week two, and you can always come just once to try out the course at any stage. If you wish, you can also drop in for a one-time fee, meaning you arrive and buy a single session at the cashier just before class.

Workshops are usually 75-90 minutes long, often taught by guest teachers, where you learn one choreography or specific techniques. These are also published throughout the season.
