FAQs

I have never danced before. Where should I start?
Down Arrow

SADC offers Intro Workshops throughout the year in modern, ballet, jazz, and other forms. These sign-up-ahead workshops are a great way to learn dance basics and class structure, and be in a group with other new dancers.

What should I wear to class?
Down Arrow

Number one, we want you to feel comfortable moving. A t-shirt, tank top, or sports top is great. Leggings, shorts, or stretchy pants are suggested. As the weather gets cooler, feel free to start class with a sweatshirt on too. A long sleeve shirt might be great to have on hand in case there will be floorwork. Depending on the dance style, students will take class barefoot, in socks, or with shoes (ballet or jazz shoes).

What do we do in a typical class?
Down Arrow

A typical class will include warm ups, stretches, movement phrases that travel across the room, and a final short dance known as a “combination.”

I am recovering from an injury or illness. Can I connect with the teacher?
Down Arrow

If you want to connect with a teacher, please arrive 10 minutes early and let the front desk steward know you would like to check in with the teacher.

I have feedback about a teacher or sub. How can I share my thoughts?
