Born 2 Dance Studio offers three types of Adult dance classes: Group Classes, Workshops and Private Lessons, as described below:

1) Group Classes

Group classes focus on a particular dance style (e.g. Salsa) at a specific level (e.g. Beginner.) They are offered once a week as part of a session lasting anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks. Group classes are by far the most common class format for students looking to learn or simply enjoy a particular dance style.

Group Classes fall into one of two categories: Enrollment-Session or Open-Session.

See our Adult "Group-Class" schedule below

2) Workshops

Workshops are one-day events that usually last from two to three hours and are offered on either weekends or weekdays. They're designed to help dance students of all levels broaden their dance training, by introducing students to a new dance style (e.g. Introduction to Belly Dance Workshops) or by learning a Fusion choreography that blends two dance styles (e.g. Hip Hop & Bollywood Fusion Workshops.)

See our "Workshop" schedule

3) Private Lessons

Private lessons are a popular choice for those looking to learn a particular dance style on an accelerated track. The need for fast learning is often triggered by a specific event (e.g. a Wedding's "First Dance.")

Other times, students seek private lessons for the simple reason of wanting to learn at their own pace, and in... privacy!

Class Types

Group classes offered at Born 2 Dance Studio are either Enrollment-Session or Open-Session classes, as described below:

1) Enrollment-Session Classes

Enrollment-Session Classes are simply Group Classes that require "enrollment" in the entire session, as opposed to just showing up to class periodically. The reason being is that Enrollment-Session classes are cumulative in nature. They focus heavily on "technique" and on building the core foundation for the dance style, and therefore, what you learn in one week's class becomes imperative for the next.

By policy, students have up until the third week of class to enroll in the session. After that, registration is closed to new students, unless instructor's permission is granted.

We strive to ensure that our students enjoy their classes without the added inconvenience of new students joining in late in the session, so please do your best to register early and within the noted deadline.

Enrollment-Session Classes are noted as such on the Class Schedule,

2) Open-Session Classes

Open-session classes are non-cumulative and do not require enrollment. While students can enroll in an entire Open-Session, they are also allowed to just "Drop In" and attend one class at a time only paying for that single class ($20 per drop-in for 1-hour classes or $15 for 45-minute classes

Of course enrolling in an Open-Session class is cheaper than just attending one drop-in at at time (averages out to $15 per class vs. $20 for drop-ins.)

Open-Session classes focus on teaching a new routine or set of movements in every class, so that students can attend one class at a time and still benefit from each class individually.

Open-Session Classes are noted as such on the Class Schedule

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you offer Drop-in classes?
Yes! We offer both session as well as drop-in dance classes. Our "Open-Session Classes " allow drop-ins. The same applies for our "Workshops."

Do you offer Youth or Kids classes?
In addition to our Adult Classes, we also offer classes for all age groups. Our Youth Classes include specialized classes for Tots (ages 3-5,) Juniors (ages 6-10) and Teens (ages 11-15.) All our Youth classes are taught by pre-screened professional instructors and are customized specifically for that age group, with the goal of promoting active participation and structured learning.

What if I miss one of the classes in a Session?
Students can make up for missed classes in a session by attending 1) a technique class within the same dance style, at the same level or below OR 2) an "Open-Session" class of any dance style. All missed classes must be made up during the current session.
