Huge Class Updates!
We’ve just made some big changes you’re going to love:
💫 No more Week#8 group gradings!
The last class of any Level 1 course is now a relaxed Summary Class. Your teachers will simply dance with everyone, feel how you’re moving, and let you know if you’re ready to level up. If a little more practice would help, they’ll gently suggest the best option (privates, repeating the level, or a combo). Way less stress, way more fun! ... read more >
💫 Platinum $5 fee is officially GONE!
Doing lower levels on the same night is FREE. Yep, we’re bringing back the classic 2-for-1 system you all missed! If you are a Platinum Level and when you come to any lower level class on the same night you get the lower level Free! ..... read more >
💫 Want an official certificate or Platinum grading?
Private gradings are now available anytime — simply book a paid private session whenever you’re ready for your formal assessment. If you’re aiming for Platinum status, you’ll need to complete your grading through private lessons. Once achieved, you’ll unlock free classes as a bonus and continue to advance your level even further. ... read more >
