Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a course or class?
What courses do you offer?
Most of our courses are 3 months long and are paid monthly via Dance Place – this can be cancelled at anytime.
For example if you have purchased the membership of ‘1 course’ at £60, and your chosen start date is Sept 1st, this is when the 1st payment of £60 will be taken from your account.
If you have simply purchased the ‘1 month’ Zouk course, then your payment will only come out once, and if you wish to continue you will need to purchase it again. Alternatively you may prefer to choose the ‘monthly rollover’ option which continues your monthly payments until you cancel it.
What happens if I can't continue my course or need to quit?
Its exactly the same as most gym memberships!
You can cancel at any time by emailing us at [email protected] or speaking to one of our reception in the school who will make sure no more payments come out.
Once a payment has been paid no refunds/part refunds are given – i.e. if you sign up on the 1st sept for a 3 month course, but email to cancel on the 14th Oct, your 1st payment of £60 would have come out on the 1st sept, and the 2nd payment would have come out on the 1st Oct – There is no ‘half a month’ refund for the rest of October, and your Nov 1st payment will be cancelled – of course you can keep dancing up until the end of Oct!
What type of shoes should I wear?
We advise you to use sports trainers/shoes for non partner dance styles and we do not recommend rubber soles as it might hurt your knee. Ladies can choose to wear dance heels for partner dances but this is not a requirement. Either heels or flats.
What should I bring with me?
We advise to bring an extra change of T-shirt or top as it can get quite warm and a change may be needed. We also advise to bring a bottle of water to ensure hydration. Any thing else that ensures hygiene & freshness.
What facilities will I find?
The facilities found in the gym will consist of a bathroom with toilets, shower room and changing room. No lockers are available on the property.
Do I need a dance partner for Brazilian Zouk & West Coast Swing?
You can attend classes with a partner, or come on your own. We believe that by dancing with different people that will speed up your learning, during our classes we will ask you to change partners. We also have our lovely assistants team that are always helping in the classes.
Will I be able to come to the classes and just observe?
Can I start a dance class mid term or a course thats already started??
If you would like to join a class mid term, you will get a free try out with our assistants to see if you are able to join the progressive classes. We will confirm your level and advise whether you will be able to join the classes, you may be asked to do private classes/workshops to meet the level and standards of the group, or you will be asked to join a lower level so you can progress faster after that you will be send to our team to pay for the remaining classes of that month. Please note that when the new month arrives you will need to pay in full.
If I miss a class will I be able to make up the classes missed?
