Frequently asked questions
Everything new dancers usually want to know.
Do I need any dance experience?
Dance experience is not necessary at all! There is no pressure to copy exactly everything I do, and moves can be tailored to make you feel good. As I say at the beginning of my classes, as long as you are moving in a way that makes you feel empowered, and confident, that is all that matters!
What should I wear and bring?
Wear something that you can move in, and feel comfortable moving in! My go to is always active wear and comfortably fitting trainers. Bring lots of water with you, too. I always end up needing more than I bring!
How do I book onto a class?
Class bookings can be made through the “Book a class” portal, where you can secure your space prior to attending. Payments for the class must be made before attending a class. However, classes in JD Gyms require a membership, which can be sourced through the JD Gyms website.
The class I want is full — how does the waitlist work?
If a class is already full, you can join its waitlist right from the class page — just pop in your name and email. It’s completely free, and no payment is taken when you join.
As soon as a spot opens up — usually because someone cancels — we’ll email you a private booking link. Whoever is first in line gets an exclusive head start (around 30 minutes) to claim it before anyone else. If they don’t take it in time, the link goes out to everyone else on the waitlist and it becomes first come, first served. The email always tells you the exact time by which you need to book.
You only pay when you book your spot through that link, at the normal class price — and the usual 48-hour refund policy still applies. If you miss your window, no worries: you stay on the waitlist and we’ll include you the next time a spot is offered round.
Can I come to a class on my own?
Absolutely you can! You may travel to the class on your own, but when you are there, you will be surrounded by so many wonderful people who will make you feel like you have been attending classes for years!
Is there parking at the venues?
At JD Gyms in Widnes, there is a designated, free customer car park. At Arts Bar Hope Street, there is on street parking outside. If these spaces are taken, there is the Metropolitan Cathedral carpark and Philharmonic Hall carpark a 3 minute walk away.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Refunds can be provided until 48 hours before the class starts. Any cancellations made within this 48 hour period will not be eligible for a refund.
