CLASSES


Don't worry, we've got a level for everyone!
Here's the breakdown:

Beginner - "I've never danced before!" + "I'm a little rusty."
Beginner/Intermediate - "I'm looking for a little bit more of a challenge".
Intermediate - "I've been trained in dance before".
Intermediate/Advanced - "I'm ready to dance with the best".
Advanced - "I slay".

WHAT LEVEL AM I?


For most classes, there is no age restriction, but if you're under the age of 18, it is recommended that you've had previous dance experience.

Heels classes are for ages 16+.

IS THERE AN AGE RESTRICTION?


We like to keep things fresh! Our instructors will teach a new combination every week, but occasionally they'll choose to repeat a combination upon students request. Don't worry, if you haven't learned the combination before, it'll be taught the same way.

IS THERE A NEW COMBINATION TAUGHT EACH CLASS?


We want you to feel comfortable and confident, so wear something that allows you to move freely. For footwear, classical styles such as Contemporary are often done barefoot or in socks. For street styles such as Hip Hop, Jazz Funk, Dancehall & Popping, we suggest runners or sneakers. If you're taking a heels class and you're uncomfortable wearing heels, feel free to wear any other footwear that you feel comfortable in.

WHAT DO I WEAR TO CLASS?


WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO CLASS WITH ME?

Just bring a water bottle, a sweat towel, deodorant, and a change of clothes or shoes… and a smile!


We've got so many amazing classes, it can be tough to decide! Check out our Instagram account HERE and find the style/music that speaks to you. Our class titles are not necessarily a specific style of dance, but they try to portray the essence of what will be taught, a specific artist's music, and/or the vibe. You can learn more about each style by checking out the descriptions on the booking page or on the app.

WHICH CLASS SHOULD I TAKE?


DO YOU HAVE A LATE POLICY?

We know you're busy slaying your day, but we recommend you arrive 5 minutes before class to check in so you can get right to work! You will not be able to enter a class after 10 minutes has passed, however, we’ll gladly get you set up for the next available class!


IS THE CLASS SCHEDULE THE SAME EVERY WEEK?

We try to keep things consistent, but sometimes we have to switch it up to keep things fresh and exciting! Don't worry though, any changes will be posted on our website and social media pages. Make sure to double-check with our front desk angels for any last-minute updates!


CAN I FILM AT THE END OF CLASS?

We know you're a boss babe and want to show off your new moves, but make sure to ask your teacher if filming is allowed. If our videographer is on the scene, you may just see yourself on our Instagram or TikTok, so bring your A-game!


We totally get it!
Just let your teacher know before class starts, and they'll make sure you stay out of any footage.

WHAT IF I AM NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING MYSELF FILMED DURING MY
CLASS?


Our class capacity varies based on the size of the studio, but we prioritize the safety and comfort of
our students, so we always make sure there is enough space for everyone to dance comfortably.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE CLASS WITH ME?


We want to make sure you're checked in and ready to slay, so don't forget to stop by the front desk to get set up for class. Even if you've already registered online, we still need you to check in with us before you hit the dance floor!

WHEN I ARRIVE, CAN I GO STRAIGHT TO MY CLASS?


I HAVE A PHYSICAL LIMITATION THAT PREVENTS ME FROM BEING ABLE TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE CLASS, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

We're here to support you every step of the way!

Let your teacher know about any injuries or physical limitations before class, and they'll make sure you're set up with modifications to keep you safe. However, if you have an injury that you know about, you should use your own discretion, as we are not responsible for any further injury.


BOOKING YOUR CLASS


It's never been easier to secure your spot in class!
You have two options:

1. Choose a membership or class package on our pricing page or on our app.
2. Choose your classes from our schedule or on our app.

HOW DO I PAY/RESERVE A CLASS?


To make things simple and easy, we're only accepting credit card payments online at this time.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?


Our classes fill up fast, but don't worry! If a class is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist. If a spot opens up, we'll send you an email to let you know you're in. If you don't hear from us, make sure to come in anyway in case someone doesn't show up! You might just score a spot if someone doesn’t show up 5 minutes after class has started!

HOW DOES THE WAITLIST WORK?


You can cancel your reserved class on The Underground Dance Centre app or on our website HERE. Scroll down to the schedule and click on My Account (next to “Find A Class”) on the schedule. We require 2 hours notice to cancel a reserved class. If you don’t cancel before 2 hours, and/or don’t show up, you will not receive your class back on your account and will be charged a $5 no-show/late cancellation fee.

WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?


We want you to have plenty of time to plan your dance party! You can book your class up to 7 days in advance. That means if you want to book a Monday class, the earliest you can book is the Monday before!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I BOOK MY CLASS?


We need payment in advance to reserve your spot in class.
But we promise it's worth it!

CAN I TAKE THE CLASS AND PAY AFTER?


WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

We know you're a smart and savvy shopper, so we want you to be aware that all purchases are final sale.
