In-Person Classes | Student Corner

Signing up for a dance class is easy! Simply head to this website's homepage and select the class that suits your interests and level. Click on the sign up/enroll button to be directed to site checkout. Create your login info if this is your first time on this website and choose your preferred form of payment. Once you complete your registration process and secure your spot, you'll be taken to your account dashboard. There you'll click on your class' banner to access your Student Corner. Please fill out the studio waiver entirely, sign it and bring it to class.

You may also sign up for class at the door if paying by cash. Just make sure to check beforehand with Cris! about remaining spots and do arrive 10-15 minutes before class starts.

We recommend wearing comfortable, dance or athletic attire, fitted clothing that allows you to move freely. Additionally, make sure to wear appropriate non-heeled dance shoes or just be barefoot.

No prior dance experience is required for our beginner's classes. These classes are specifically designed for individuals with little to no dance background, as well as belly dance students who are completing their Beginner Level's track.

Intermediate or Advanced-Intermediate classes do have specific prerequisites and require longer belly dance experience. Feel free to reach out to Cris! for guidance on selecting the right class for your level.

In most cases, it's preferable to join a dance class at the beginning of a session to ensure a smooth progression with the material being taught. However, if there is availability and the class level aligns with your skills, you may be able to join mid-session. Contact your instructor Cris! for further assistance.

The duration of our weekly dance classes is 1 hour. Workshops and master classes will be longer. You can find the specific duration mentioned in the  class page's description.

Cris! strives to provide performances or recitals to showcase the progress and achievements of her students. These events often take place at the end of a session or dance season. Information about performances, recitals, or any additional fees associated with them will be communicated in advance.

We do not offer a refund or credit (make-up class) for online or in-person class purchase. Please understand that signing-up for an online or in-person class package implies on full commitment to the current session. If you know ahead of time that you'll be missing classes during a particular session, please purchase drop-in classes when available or make sure to communicate with the instructor beforehand about your needs.
