FAQs

1. What if I have never taken a dance class before?

We welcome dancers of all levels - from Beginner to Advanced, and have classes designed just for you!

Our Absolute Beginners Courses are perfect for learning the fundamentals of a dance form. They are progressive and run in 7 or 8-week sessions. Drop-In Classes are also offered for all levels and abilities. Classes that do not have a level specification are suitable for all levels, including beginners.

5. Can I bring my child to adult classes?

Unfortunately, children are not allowed in adult classes. This ensures that the environment remains focused and comfortable for all participants.

Dress codes vary by class type and are usually listed in the class description on the schedule. For in-studio classes, we enforce a strict No Outdoor Shoes policy to keep our dance floors clean and safe. Wet shoes are not allowed on the floor during rainy or snowy weather. We have an in-studio store where you can purchase dance shoes, Latin heels, leotards, tights, yoga pants, leg warmers, and more!

All classes must be paid for in advance through our City Dance Corps app or website. We accept debit, Visa, MasterCard, and cash (in person).
