06Questions
Before your first class
I’ve never danced. Is Beginners really for me?
Yes. Most people in Beginners haven’t danced since school, or ever. Every step is taught slowly and you go at your own pace.
How do passes work?
Buy a pass and each class you book uses one of its classes. Use it on any class in the timetable before it runs out.
Do I have to perform in the showcase?
No. The showcase is for the Performance Company and anyone who wants to join a piece. Many people just come to watch.
Is there somewhere to change?
Yes: changing rooms, lockers and a water fountain. The studio is step-free from the street.
Can I book or pay through this example?
This is a fictional business on Shovva. Try every step to see how it works: nothing is booked, charged or sent.
When and where are the classes?
Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings at our studio in Leeds, five minutes from the bus station. Every class and time is in the timetable at the top of the page.
Is it right for my level or age, and will my child be safe?
Every class is for adults, 18 and over, whatever your age. Beginners needs no experience and Improvers suits six months or more. We don’t teach children, so there are no under-18s in any class.
Can I try a first lesson or come and watch, and what do I need to bring or wear?
Your first Beginners class is free, or come and watch the Winter Showcase. Wear comfortable clothes you can stretch in, bring water and a layer for the warm-up. We dance in bare feet or socks, so there’s nothing to buy.
Will I be the only beginner, and will I keep up?
No, most of the room started from scratch too. Ava breaks every phrase down slowly, repeats it as often as you need and gives an easier option, so you go at your own pace.
What if I miss a lesson?
Cancel at least 24 hours before and the class goes back on your pass to use another night. Classes don’t build week to week, so you can pick up again any time.
Any qualifications, insurance or memberships?
Professionally trained contemporary dancers. Dance teaching qualification. Enhanced background check. First aid trained. Fully insured.
