Frequently Asked Questions

What is your class pricing?

We offer a variety of pricing structures for group lessons, sessions, workshops, events, and private lessons. Please click on this link to be directed to a comprehensive price list.

 

Do You Offer Morning, Afternoon or Evening Classes?

We offer morning and evening classes and anticipate offering afternoon classes starting October 2008. We are open Monday through Sunday, check out calendar for updated information. 

 

Can I try out a class first?

No. Extensive research has shown that our new student special of $10 for One Week of Unlimited Group Classes is what the majority of students desire. One free class does not provide enough of an experience to our first time clients (i.e., what if you pick a class that just did not fit your style, now you have used your free class).

 

Can I come watch a class, instead of taking a drop in class?

Unfortunately no, for reasons of liability and also for the comfort of our current students.

 

How do I sign up for classes?

You may access our online calendar tool with your username and password and click on the sign up button. If you are new to our studio, you must purchase your initial class card in the studio. For reasons of student eligibility, our new / first time student specials are not available for purchase online.

 

Can I pay for classes with a credit card?

Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex. And yes, a Debit Card with a Visa or MC logo is acceptable. *Returned checks are subject to an NSF fee, and further payments must be made by cash or certified funds only.

 

What should I wear to class?

Each class has specific dress / shoe suggestions. Please click here to be directed to this information. As a general note, our studio has a "No Street Shoes" policy to protect the specialty dance flooring, so please don’t wear your regular shoes in class. You are welcome to dance barefoot for classes such as YBB and Masala Bhangra, or try dance slip-ons, jazz shoes, or a dansneaker. Athletic shoes are permitted for classes such as Zumba and Defend & Jam, so long as they are not worn for other/outside activities and have a non-marking sole (most major-brand shoes will indicate so on the sole).

 

How difficult are your classes?

Because we have a mixed-level student base, we teach to all levels. In a class, there will be variations in choreography and steps given, to accommodate beginner and advanced students. Students are encouraged to honor their body and level and ask for alternative modifications to accommodate their experience levels and/or physical abilities. We do not want to frustrate our students, nor do we wish to bore them.   Click here for class level definitions

 

Do I need dance experience to take a class at Springs Salsa & Dance Fitness?

Dance experience is not required for most classes. Due to our teaching style, we are able to teach at all levels. However, for specialty sessions (i.e. Salsa 102) students must be actively participating in SSDF Salsa classes and have successfully completed Salsa 101 to enjoy this class. For this reason, it is important that you read the class descriptions sheet or check with the studio office. However, the majority of our calendar features classes suitable for all levels.

 

Do you teach children’s classes?

Our adult studio has become an oasis for transformation and time away from the everyday demands of your life. At this time we do not teach toddlers, elementary or junior-high school aged children. Our classes are for adults and teenagers 14 and up.

 

Can I join the performing team?

Students are selected for the performing company by the instructor and/or by invitation. We typically like for students to be regularly active in SSDF classes for 4-6 months, prior to consideration for the performing company, even with prior dance experience. In addition, we strongly suggest that even performers are regular participants in our ongoing group classes. Rehearsals do not substitute for group class attendance. Rehearsals are vigorous, demanding, and at an enhanced pace. At the moment, our performance teams are complete for 2008. If you are interested in being considered, let us know.
