Are heels required for classes?
For Beginners, you can start in socks, but it’s best to start right away in heels. For Intermediate and Advanced, heels are required - supportive, stable heels designed for movement and ankle support are recommended. If you’re unsure what to buy, I can advise you on proper footwear.
What should I wear to my first High Heels class?
Choose comfortable, form-fitting clothes so the instructor can see your alignment and technique. Dress in a way that makes you feel confident and feminine - even in rehearsal.
Do I need knee pads, and which ones should I choose?
I’ll let you know before each class when knee pads are needed, but it’s best to always have a pair on hand. Choose slim, flexible dance knee pads that protect your joints without restricting movement. You can find suitable options at dancewear stores or sports shops, and I’m happy to help you pick the right ones.
Which heels should I buy for class?
Invest in high-quality leather or suede dance heels (8–10 cm, open toe recommended), stable and supportive with lacing and a side zipper.
Are trial classes available?
Yes - trial classes are available for all group levels when space allows. Trial classes are a great way to meet the teacher, feel the class’s energy, get to know other students, and see if it’s the right fit for you. You can book directly on the website or via Instagram - I recommend reserving your spot at the beginning of the month.
Book a Trial Class
Can I book a trial class more than once?
Trial classes are intended for first-time students only and can be booked once per person.
If you’ve already taken a trial class, please choose a Drop-in or Monthly option for your next visit.
How do drop-ins work?
Drop-ins are allowed when there’s space. You can book directly on the website or via instagram - I recommend reserving your spot at the beginning of the month. Please reach out at least 24 hours in advance to confirm availability.
Book a Drop-In
Can I join in the middle of the month?
Yes - you can join mid-month and pay per class as a drop-in. However, I recommend starting at the beginning of the month, since we introduce new elements every class and build choreography and technique cumulatively. If you feel comfortable, you’re always welcome to attend, and you can also book a trial or reserve a spot for the next month.
What if I miss a class?
Classes are not adjust or refund for missed sessions, but if you have any special circumstances, we can discuss them individually.
Do you accept Epassi or Smartum vouchers?
I do not accept Epassi, Smartum, or other employee benefit vouchers. Payment can be made via bank transfer, card, or invoice.
