What Does an Ongoing Class Mean?

An ongoing class is a unique and exciting opportunity for dance enthusiasts of all levels! Unlike typical classes that run for a set number of weeks, an ongoing class never ends. We meet once a week, continuously, providing a consistent and supportive environment for you to grow as a dancer.

Here’s What Makes Our Ongoing Classes Special:

Never-Ending Fun: Our classes are designed to keep you dancing and learning every week, forever. There’s always something new to explore, and you’ll have the chance to refine your skills continuously.

Flexible Attendance: Life happens, and we understand that you might need to miss a class occasionally. As long as you communicate with us in advance, you won't lose an hour. Our 24-hour cancellation policy ensures you can miss class without losing money. It’s like a punchcard. But, tracked virtually.
