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". -
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+. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!
-
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. -
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. -
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!
-
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.

Courses
-
This 6-week course offers a structured, progressive learning experience, diving deeper into specific dance styles and techniques than our regular drop-in classes. Each session builds upon the previous week, leading up to a final choreography that will be filmed in the last session.
-
Each course has its own specific focus, but in general, you'll learn foundational techniques, choreography, musicality, and other skills related to the specific dance style. The course is designed to help you grow progressively over six weeks, with personal feedback and skill-building exercises.
-
You can register for the course through our website or the Underground Dance app. If you experience any issues, feel free to contact us directly.
-
The final week of the course will culminate in a filmed choreography piece, allowing you to showcase your progress and celebrate your hard work.
-
Late enrollment is permitted up until the second session of the course. After that, no additional sign-ups will be allowed. Please note that no discounts will be given for late enrollment.
-
This is a progressive course, and each week builds on the previous one. Therefore, you must sign up for the full 6-week session.
-
As each week builds on the previous, missing a session may impact your progression. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds or make-up classes for missed sessions, so we recommend doing your best to attend each one.
-
The course is $360 for non-members. Underground members automatically receive a 33% discount, bringing the price to $240. To receive the member discount, you must have an Active, Hold, or Hold Plus membership at the time of purchase.
-
Courses with insufficient enrollment may be canceled. If this happens, you will receive a full refund. Cancellations may occur as late as the day the course is scheduled to begin.
