Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a list of answers to help you solve some of the questions you may have. If you have any queries that are not covered in our FAQs section, don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to help.

What can I expect at a class?

Each class has an ability level (please refer to each class in classes). The duration of our classes is 60 minutes. We will start with a skills-based warm up teaching you basic waving and popping exercises. Then we move onto a fun routine that "makes you feel like you're on MTV". Then it's time for you to practice before your next class. Ultimately, we will teach you the moves that you need to impress your mates and make a difference on the dance floor!

How good do I have to be to join an Urban Strides dance class?

Urban Strides welcome all levels of dancers. Even if you have never danced before, you will feel very comfortable at one of our classes.

No, due to the high level of demand for our classes, we now operate a pre-book and pre-pay system for each half term for our classes. Please contact us for a registration form and further details.

Once enrolled on a class, how do I register for subsequent half terms?

Students already enrolled in a class will receive priority for re-booking for the subsequent half terms lessons. Places are then opened up to those on the waiting list.

What if the class is fully booked?

Our classes are very popular and we limit the numbers to maintain our high standard of teaching. Once a class is full, names are placed on a waiting list and allocated on a first come first served basis.
