I have never danced before, can I join your classes?
Absolutely! No dance experience is required for our beginner classes. If you think you have 2 left feet, our classes are for you.
Do I need to bring a partner?
Nope! No partner is required for any of our classes. We regularly rotate partnerships throughout the class, so you have the opportunity to dance with lots of people - this is really helpful for your dancing!
What ages do your classes teach?
Our classes our suitable for any ages. They are adult classes though! If you can’t manage a sitter though one night, you’re welcome to bring your kids along if they are happy to sit and watch.
You can wear anything you feel comfortable in! We only suggest clothes that are easy to move in, and that aren’t too hot! We tend to get pretty warm, even in those winter months. Bring a spare t-shirt if you think you might want a change of clothes (Charleston - we’re looking at you). We do suggest you wear closed toe shoes that aren’t too grippy - to look after those knees and toes.
What should I wear?
We encourage you to join us in week 1 or 2 of a new block. Our blocks run over 6 weeks and we build on the content each week. While we do recap the week before, it can still be pretty hard to jump in later on in the block if you have never danced swing before. We start from the very basics in the first couple of weeks so that is the best time to join! If you’ve missed the first 2 weeks, we suggest holding off until the start of the next block.
When is a good time to start the classes?
Unfortunately not! Our venues all teach different styles and content, which makes it pretty hard to chop and change venues. The block passes are only valid for one venue.
I’ve signed up for a block, but I can’t make one of the weeks. Can I go to another venue that week?
Our classes run in blocks of 6 weeks. This is $80 for 6 weeks of classes at one venue if it your first time dancing with us, or $90 for 6 weeks of classes at one venue if you have danced with us before.
Can’t make a whole block? No worries, we also offer casual classes for $18 per class.
How much do your classes cost?
Absolutely! Your first class is free so you can give it a go and see if you like it (we think you will). We encourage you to join in rather than watch, so you can really get a feel for it! No need to pre-register for this, just show up on the night. If you enjoy yourself and would like to sign up for the rest of the block, you can do that at the venue or via the website after. Don’t forget to use our promo code MYFRISTBLOCK to get that discount.
Can I trial a class before I sign up for the whole block?
You can sign up online through the website, or pay at the venue. We accept cash or card (including paywave) or alternatively you can also make a bank transfer.
