To make a booking all we require is a name and some contact information for you and each of your friends who are coming along.


Do I have to attend the same class every week?
Yes. Our courses run for 4 consecutive weeks so that all the students can progress at the same time.


Do I have to attend a fixed "term" of classes?
Yes. Our courses during the week run for 4 consecutive weeks. However you can choose to come casually to our other venue classes.


Can I try a class before I commit to the whole course?
All our classes are paid so if wish to just attend one class then you just have to pay for one class which is INR300/- or you can just drop in for 10mins to see any of our classes.


Do I have to pay any money in advance?
Yes. For ease of administration we ask that students pay for the courses on the first day of the course. This allows us to balance numbers in the weeks following.


I have no dance experience; will I be able to cope?
Absolutely! We will teach you from absolute basics. If you are a slower learner, you can join the casual classes each week to supplement your course.


I have some dance experience, which level should I start?
We always recommend that students start at the beginner level; however we can also recommend a couple of private lessons with our experienced instructors to fast track you to the next level, which are charged in a different manner.


How long will it take me to learn?
You should start feeling confident within about 5 lessons and we find most students are confident to move to the next class level at the end of the 4 week course. We encourage you to come along to our causal classes to get you free dancing even quicker.


What do I wear?
For SALSA- Most people come to our classes straight after work, so comfortable smart casual clothing is fine.  We recommend that you do not wear clothing that restricts your movement (such as very long pencil-skirts) but other than that it is up to you.

For HIP HOP & STREET- As this class would include lots of workout and sweating , we recommend to wear track pant and tshirt (both should have no zip or button).

For JAZZ - Any comfortable tshirt with jazz pants or any fitting stretchable pants, or leotards.

(Changing rooms available)


What shoes should I wear?

For SALSA- If you have dance shoes then bring them. The ideal shoes have suede soles and hold your foot firmly in position. If you do not have dance shoes, wear something that is comfortable and that can slide quite easily on the floor without gripping. Leather soles are good, rubber soles are not. We recommend you do not wear trainers, boots or mules. The right footwear is essential in order to be able to carry out movements correctly and without injury. We stock a wide range of leather dance shoes for both ladies and gentlemen

FOR HIP HOP & STREET- Sneakers or sport shoes with socks.

FOR JAZZ - You can wear Jazz shoe or Jazz sneakers or dance barefoot as instructed by the instructor. 


Do I need to bring a partner?
No. We rotate partners in class, and everyone will have ample partners. If we have an imbalance, extra people just wait in between couples, and will get a partner in a couple of minutes (we switch partners quite a bit during class). We also do our best to have even classes.

 

I'm bringing someone, do I have to rotate partners?

Rotating partners is not solely for social reasons. It helps the learning process. It's necessary to properly learn how to lead and follow. Everyone has a different style, and changing partners will greatly enhance the speed at which you learn. That being said, you can always remove yourself slightly from the circle and not change partners - no problem!


Will I feel intimidated?
Not at all! There will be people there just like you - who want to learn and have a great time!


Will I dance with the same person all the time?
No. The class is rotated regularly so you get to dance with different people.


I have two left feet!
No problem! We'll help you find that missing right foot!


If I can’t continue with a course, can I get a refund?
We don’t offer refunds on course fees after the course starts. However we are quite flexible, by allowing students to transfer their fees to future courses.


Is There Parking near the venue?
Our courses are held in the Ballygunge and Salt Lake area. There is plenty of on-street metered parking available in Ballygunge, and free ones in Salt Lake.


Is there easy public transport to the Venue?

Yes!

For Salt Lake Studio: You can get an auto from karunamoyee or ultadanga to C.A.P Camp and then, locate a furniture shop named Mod Furn and take the small by lanes adjacent to it and after passing the lane take the second left and locate the first bungalow with a board there.

For Ballygunge Studio: You need to come to Richie Park AKA Maddox Square. It’s near to Hazra and Sarat Bose road crossing.

You can also refer Google map. Just put our name, that’s it.


What happens if I miss a class, how do I make up?

No problem! You can swap classes at any time, and make up classes during the week, for any other class. Once you sign up for a session, and miss a class, you may attend a make up class by informing the teacher. If you cannot make any other class in that week or coming week, then you would lose a class (although we do go out of our way to make sure people are well taken care of). Check out the schedule to know the various timings of classes.


Can I get a friend to see the class?

Yes. We allow people or outsiders to see the class for the last 15 mins of the session. Till then the dear friend will have to wait at the reception area.


Is it necessary to be a member, What if I don’t want a membership?

The membership is free with all our monthly classes’ packages so there is no question that you have to pay extra for it. If you don't want a monthly package then wou can go for a PAY PER CLASS Package , which does not include membership.


What is the benefit of being a member?

Then you get different offers and discounts for our classes, workshops and shows.

Also, after discontinuation you can join in again without any extra charge.
