  • Students entering in a class after the first 15 minutes distrupt the class for the other students. Students may not join a class in progress after 15 minutes.

Statutory Holidays

When a class falls on a statutory holiday, such as Easter Monday or Victoria Day, then the class will not be held. A reduction in fee will be calculated for that session/program, and drop-in classes will not be held, unless otherwise advertized.

Dress Code&Etiquette

  • No food, drink, or chewing gum on the floor during class.

  • Men and boys should wear shirts with short/long sleeves. No jeans please.

  • Ladies and girls must wear appropriate tops — not revealing low cut.

  • No running or outdoor shoes please. No bare feet. We suggest that you wear dress shoes that you might wear out to a club for dancing or to a wedding.  For woman, shoes that have heel support and an ankle strap are best.  For more committed dancers, shoes made specifically for ballroom dancing can be purchased – speak to your teacher about the best options.
