REGISTRATION:
1) Attendance is limited and we will try to maintain a good role balance so Followers (which we typically have more of), if you have a Leader to sign up with, great, but not a requirement, and there is a slight discount if you sign up as a Leader/Follower combo.
2) Sign up here: https://forms.gle/eBpUciwLnrPWoKVA8. I will send you a confirmation (along with a FAQs document) or let you know the class is full and put you on a Wait List.
3) Sorry, no walk-ins.
PAYMENT:
Payment options/deadline will be sent via email along with your confirmation. Pre-payment is required to spend less time checking in.😉 If you can't make it for any reason, you'll receive a full refund.
FOOTWEAR (esp. for Followers):
Wear shoes that do not grip (like running/hiking shoes do) and instead, allow you to easily pivot on the balls of your feet. No flip flops/mules or any shoes in which your heel is not secure. A little bit of a heel is okay; you need to be able to walk naturally, striking the heel and rolling through the foot. You must wear shoes, no bare/socked feet; no exceptions!
FRAGRANCE POLICY:
Please refrain from wearing scented products like perfume, cologne, body spray, etc. (deodorant is fine and encouraged!) as I am highly allergic. They are a chemical irritant to my system, even pleasant smelling scents, and either you or I will have to leave the room so I can breathe, and I'm the teacher so ... 😉
Then, stay for TDS's evening lesson/dance (separate admission) starting at 6 pm!
Any questions, let us know ~
