ADULT DANCE

2023-2024 Adult Dance Classes

Click here to register for all adult classes.

All adult classes meet once a week and either run in sessions over 6-8 weeks or run in half-year sessions. If the class is running for a 6 or 8-week session the fee is due at the start of the session unless you make other arrangements with the office. If the class is running from August to January and January to June the tuition can be paid in full or it’s split into 5 payments between the two halves of the year.

Make-up Policy & Drop-ins

We do offer make-ups for missed classes as long as there is an opening in a class of the same style. Make-ups must be done within two weeks of the absence and must be scheduled through the front desk. If a class is running and it is not full, we do allow drop-ins call the front desk (603)750-7777 or email reception@solecitydance.org to make sure a class is running and has space. All drop-ins must be registered at least 24 hours before the class and must pay at the time of registration. It’s best to create an account in our system to drop into a class you can create one here.

Withdrawal Policy

Upon registration for a half-year class, you are responsible for the full tuition unless you notify Sole City Dance by email to info@solecitydance.org by the 10th of the month prior to the withdrawal. You will be responsible for the full tuition for the upcoming month on any withdrawal made after the 10th. If you sign up for an adult class that is running over 6 or 8 weeks you have until one week before the start of the class to drop for a full refund.

If we are required to stop in-studio classes due to a health emergency, we will transition to virtual classes. The withdrawal policy remains the same. If you do not formally withdraw from a class tuition fees are still due. Marking yourself absent in the portal and putting in a note does not qualify as an official withdrawal notification.

This class will explore the experience of dancing in heels. We will investigate movement patterns essential to dancing in heels and learn a section of stylized choreography. The overall style of the movement will be somewhere in between commercial sassy jazz and jazz funk, with some elements of hip hop. Some dance experience is recommended but not required, this is fun class for all levels who want to help gain some confidence on the dance floor. As the name of the class suggests, this class may be done in heels but sneakers are also encouraged. We recommend choosing a pair of heels that are clean and that you feel comfortable walking in.
