Adult Classes - FAQ

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

  • New students welcome! To join a class, please create an online account and register to reserve a spot.

  • ONLINE REGISTRATION HERE - For 8 week session (when available) please choose “Enroll in class” and for Drop-in Classes pick specific class date(s).

  • Please contact us with any questions about adult dance classes by emailing dance@karinhobby.ca.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

  • We recommend you wear whar you are comfortable moving in!  Many adult students will come in standard dancewear and others prefer yoga wear. Footwear will be more specific to each class. Suggestions for different classes:
    Ballet - Bodysuit, black or pink tights and skirt or fitted top and leggings. Ballet shoes (leather or canvas). If you do not have ballet shoes for your first class, you are welcome to wear socks.
    Contemporary - Fitted top or bodysuit and leggings or shorts/ yoga wear. Bare feet (socks/metatarsal socks optional)
    Tap - Comfortable fitness/yoga wear. Oxford tap shoes (lace up). Fitness - Workout wear + bring sneakers, yoga mat and hand towel for all classes!

SHOULD I TAKE AN 8 WEEK SESSION OR SINGLE CLASSes?

  • We do encourage 8 Week Sessions, as they are designed for participants to progress through sequentially and build on what they have learned. Regular attendance allows for the best experience possible when studying dance, and choreography often will carry over from week to week. Single Drop-In Classes are an option to take at any time (when space available) and great for those who have varying schedules, want to take classes in between the 8 Week session start dates or try out a class to find the right level! Registering for a full session secures a space for you in the class and single drop-in classes are only available if space permits.

what if i am going to miss a class?

  • Registering for a class holds your place in the program. If enrolled in an 8 week session, any classes missed cannot be made up or refunded. Purchased drop-in classes cannot be refunded, however you may request to defer a class to another date (occurring within 4 weeks), no less than 24-hours before the original class time.
