Great! This is THE place to break back in. Most of our members are in a similar boat or have recently started dancing again or for the first time, so rest assured that the people around you GET IT and there is no judgment whatsoever. Classes are paced in a way that you can really adapt it to your level and current ability. 

Music types vary depending on the teacher. Playlists range from Indie rock and dance music, to pop, to instrumental. Here’s a sample playlist!

We don't offer refunds, but you can reschedule if you are within the time window. You have up to 6 hours before class starts to get a credit back to reschedule, which you can do manually through our new sign up system. Within 6 hours of class time, we cannot reschedule your class. 

We price our classes in our best efforts to be sustainable for our small business, while also affordable for our students. Class rates are listed and can vary depending on the class. If cost is prohibitive but you are feeling extremely connected to our mission and would love to take part, please reach out to danceagain@jessgrippo.com and we can let you know if there are sliding scale or scholarship spots available. 

Yes! We are following state mandated requirements.  Masks are currently optional but we will stay in tune with updates and make adjustments if necessary. Please do what you feel comfortable with to take care of your personal health. 

Wear clothes you can comfortably move in - It's not a fashion show, so don't stress over what to wear ;) Most people wear sweatpants or leggings and a t-shirt. 

As for shoes/feet: 

Contemporary-ish - barefoot or socks is recommended, but dance shoes are also ok!

Rusty Ballet - socks or ballet slippers are recommended. 

Hip-Hop - sneakers are recommended. 

Other classes - check the description! 

We’ve tried our best to be as descriptive as possible and to give examples to help ease the fear of the unknown and allow you to determine if it would be a good fit. If you didn't already claim it, you can get a few sample classes on video here. That being said, it’s still totally normal to be nervous or to have questions! 

We welcome you to contact us or join our online community to ease your way back in. Inside the online community, we have courses you can do at home and offer live workshops for extra support. We are also working on more resources to support you every step of the way. Reach out if you have any ideas about how we can do this even better!
