But What IS Freestyles?
Whether you’ve heard the term from an instructor or another student, or saw it on the calendar, or heard it in an event announcement, or have seen the poster in our studio — we like to talk about our events here, in case it weren’t obvious — you’ve probably heard the term “Freestyles” before. Of course, hearing about something is very different from knowing what it is, so you may still be wondering — what is Freestyles? Think of Freestyles as a mini dance vacation, one or two days long.

What Happens If I Have To Cancel?
Sometimes, despite your instructor’s best efforts to accommodate any schedule, life will get in the way. And that’s okay. So what do you do when life happens? First, please call the studio and let your instructor know what is going on – whether you need to reschedule or are just running late. Think of the last time you had a salon or doctor’s appointment. Sometimes, they require some form of deposit to hold the time slot for you. In the event you had to cancel, you wouldn’t just skip your appointment, and lose your deposit, you would call and reschedule. … Continue reading “What Happens If I Have To Cancel?”

Why Do I Have To Do A Spotlight?
No matter where you are on your dance journey, your dance guru will eventually bring up the S word.
