INTRO ADULT COURSES

REGISTER FOR CLASSES

Introductory Classes are 6 Week Sessions, with 1 Class Per Week

Cost: $112/Session

Adult Intro Basics:

• Introductory Level – No previous dance experience

• These courses are designed for students with no previous knowledge or experience, or for those with prior dance experience who wish to refresh their knowledge of terminology and foundational technique after time away.

• Students typically take 2-4 consecutive 6-week sessions if they are brand new to dance and 1-2 consecutive 6-week sessions if they have previous dance experience.

• Lessons build from class to class and are taught by the same instructor every week. While subs are rare, when a sub is necessary, they are predetermined to ensure the continuity of the course.

• The goal of our intro adult courses is the matriculation of students into our beginning-level classes. The next level for students is the Beginner Level I or Beginner Level, and students are encouraged to take on both an Introductory Class and a Beginner Class to facilitate their transition to the next level.

• Our intro courses are designed to progress through the 6 weeks and are not set up to accommodate drop-in or single-class attendance.

• Space is LIMITED. There are NO REFUNDS and NO PRORATING. Your registration and payment signify a commitment to the 6 specifically scheduled weeks.

• You are purchasing a course of scheduled classes that runs 6 weeks, not a class card that you can use at will.

• Students will not be admitted into classes if they are more than 15 minutes late.

• HMD can not accommodate class observations. If you have never danced before, this is the place to start. If you have danced before or have a regular movement practice (yoga, aerobics, martial arts, etc.) and are concerned that Intro might be too slow for you, we recommend that you register for a single class at the beginning level and let the instructor know your concerns/ curiosities at the start of class. You are also encouraged to follow up with the instructor after class for additional class suggestions if desired.

If you have questions or specific concerns, please contact classes@metdance.org before you register.

Student Responsibilities, Cancellations, and Make-ups:

• Students are responsible for tracking their purchase expiration dates and class credits.

• Students are able to cancel reservations before class starts through their MindBody accounts.

• Only classes that have been cancelled directly can be made up.

• No Shows are not automatically cancelled. Cancellation is the responsibility of the student. If you miss the cancellation windo,w contact classes@metdance.org

• Scheduling Make-up Classes: To schedule a make-up class, you’ll email classes@metdance.org. Due to the specific number of classes in the session and the limited number of spots available, make-ups may not be available within the intro program, and therefore can be scheduled for any class on our open adult schedule.

Additional Information:
