Some of our classes are open level, so if you miss one, it's okay! Courses are 8-12 weeks long and cumulative, so we suggest you try to make it to all. Classes that focus on choreography as well as technique is also okay to miss one, but don't make it a habit! You can also take a private lesson for more help if you feel you are too far behind.
​
The prices definitely vary for costumes and such, but you do not need to wear one in class! You can purchase a coin belt, or simply just a scarf to wrap around your hips. There are no requirements to buy anything additional to participate. For special classes that include props you may need to purchase or borrow them from our boutique.
