Multi-Week Session Dance Classes
Session classes run for an hour a week for 6 to 8 weeks. If you miss a class, you may still come and finish your session, but no make-ups are available unless the instructor cancels a class. Session costs vary depending on location and length of session.
​
Sessions stay open through the second week of class and then close to new students. We teach in sessions because most classes build weekly on the technique and artistry learned the week before. You will get the most out of a class by committing to a whole session. Some classes do allow drop-ins, as indicated in the class description, but studio policy requires a session to have 5 registered students in order to hold that session. Drop-in rate is $20 per class unless otherwise noted.
Upcoming session classes and special events full details and registration below.
​​
Unlimited movement classes
For the dance student who wants more, we offer an unlimited class pass at $150 per month. Unlimited passes allow you to take any dance sessions and drop-in classes. Workshops with Jaidra and movement clinics are not included but are available to unlimited students at a discounted rate.
​
Class locations vary and are listed along with the start date for upcoming sessions
