Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register?
-
Advance registration is required. No walk in payment. I need this to ensure enough students in the class with the right male/female mix.
-
You send me email verifying we have space. I acknowledge. You pay. I acknowledge. That’s the registration.
How many students in the class? Do I need to come with a partner? What is the mix between male/female?
-
I cap the class around 20. Most classes were between 12 to 16.
-
Advance registration allows me to control the mix between male/female.
-
It does not have to be exact even number as the teachers are dancing with the students during practice
-
We rotate partners during the practice. It reasonable to wait for your turn around 30 seconds. It is a good practice to be able to practice the moves without a partner
How many instructors in the class?
-
It will be me, David and a female partner/teacher
Why advance payment & registration is needed?
-
We need minimum participants to justify teaching time (and expenses). We also need to cap the size of the class to make the teaching effective.
We also need to control the mix between men/women as we are accepting couples and singles. -
We advise you to lock your spot in the class to avoid getting declined and to take advantage of the early bird discounts.
The class is not a drop in class.
