FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Born to Boogie Yarraville class: women dancing on stage in costume performing

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?

No! A passion for dancing is all you need.

We are a community of dance lovers who just love to get up on stage and dance! Most of our participants are every day people who've never performed professionally before. And some have never done a dance class. Our classes are catered for beginner to intermediate levels.

 

If you've not participated in a dance class before, you'll be learning something very new... choreography, how to move your body to a beat, and trying to remember dance steps until you muscle memory kicks in. But once you nail those moves with practice you'll find it's one of the most rewarding challenges!

I'LL BE AWAY FOR SOME CLASSES - DOES THAT MATTER?

Kind of. But it depends how many.

We ask that you don't miss more than 3 classes maximum out of the 13 weeks.

Firstly it makes it tricky on yourself. You want to be as confident as possible before you get on stage for the performance and we build on the dance routines every week. 

Secondly it makes it tricky on the teacher and other class attendees, mainly for positioning. When bodies are missing from the group, it's very hard for everyone to remember who they are next to and when!

In saying that, we do have a private Facebook group for each class group where we upload videos of what's learnt that week. If you are away you can watch, learn and practice at home.

We are family-friendly so if you need to bring your kiddies to one or two classes, that's ok! We'd prefer you be there with them than miss out. 

We do understand 13 weeks is a big commitment and that life happens! So please don't stress if you do need to miss a class. We just ask you to try to your best to be there for most of the 13 weeks.

I MISSED OUT ON A SPOT - HOW DO I GET IN?

Many of our students love their experience with us so much they keep coming back. We love that! But occasionally it means that there's less spaces for new students too.

We recommend you join our Waitlist below to be notified of new classes and locations. We send an email out 4-6 weeks before each semester notifying you that enrolments are open and with a link to enrol. You can book with just a 30% deposit and secure your spot! We'll also send another reminder email a week before each semester starts so you can grab any last minute spots.

You can also request a class near you! It's a team effort to start a new location and we do need a minimum of 12 people to open one. If you'd like one near you then get out your megaphones and gather a bunch of dance lovers to join with you. We'll do our best to get it happening for you too.

WHO CAN JOIN?

Anyone over the age of 18! As long as your body is able to participate in cardio exercise and low to medium intensity physical activity you are welcome to boogie with us. Our most senior participant is in her 70's showing that age is no barrier when it comes to dancing.

DO I HAVE TO BE IN THE PERFORMANCE?

To participate in our signature 13 week courses, yes. We do understand it's not for everyone and being on stage performing can be a vulnerable and scary place to be. There have been MANY people who have gathered the courage to join our courses and faced their fears! Our courses are a personal self journey for many of our participants.. Fears are faced and concerns are overcome. And the feeling of elation and pride in themselves once they come off stage for the first time has them coming back for more and more. After performing our students experience an incredible feeling of pride and empowerment and the buzz is out of this world! This is why we say we are so much more than just dance classes.

However we do often run short 2,3, and 4 week courses with our incredible teachers. So definitely sign up to our mailing list so we can keep in touch with the classes we run.
