About Open Classes

How It Works

We offer one free class per month. Registration is requested, but not required, and opens up two weeks before class. Join our newsletter to discover new classes and find out when registration opens.

Open classes are intended for dancers to try new styles, expand their training, and connect with different facilitators and choreographers. Experience in the featured style is not necessary, but prior dance experience is recommended. If you’re new to dance and looking for a place to start, get in touch and we’ll help connect you with beginner classes in the area.

Class Etiquette

  • Please be on time to class.
  • Please show respect to the instructor and your fellow classmates.
