How do I start?
For group classes you can enrol on the night! Just pop in 10-15 minutes early so that we can register your details and show you around the studio.
For private lessons please contact us on 08 9457 0611 or via email info@dancewerx.com.au with your preferred days and times and we will contact you to make a booking.
Can I join a group class if it has already started?
Our 6 week courses are structured and build on the syllabus each week therefore, we encourage people to start from the first week but do allow new enrolments on week two. If you don’t want to wait to get started, we can arrange some private tuition for you whilst you’re waiting for the next lot of enrolments to begin.
Can I pay as I go or do I have to pay upfront?
We offer both options for your convenience. With our group classes you can enjoy a discounted rate by purchasing the entire 6 week course upfront however we do offer a pay as you go option of $20 per person per class.
Private lesson customers can also enjoy a discounted rate by purchasing lessons in 5 or 10 hour blocks. These packages represent fantastic value for money but again we also offer a pay as you go option for private tuition as well. It’s completely up to you.
What if I don’t have a partner?
No problem! You don’t need a partner to enjoy any of our group classes. We will provide you with the opportunity to rotate partners and practice dancing with different people. Not only is this a great way to hone your partnering skills but is also a great way for you to meet new people.
Do we have to rotate partners?
Couples are free to dance with each other for the entire class. Rotating partners can be a lot of fun and beneficial to your dancing however it is not COMPULSORY. We want you to enjoy your class, just be sure to let the staff know if you wish to stay with your partner.
What do I wear?
Your comfort is our main priority. You should wear something that is comfortable and easy to move in. DanceWerx doesn’t have a particular dress code however smart, casual dress attire is usually the norm. Jeans, t-shirts, dresses… whatever you feel most comfortable in is fine with us.
What footwear should I wear?
Your shoes should be comfortable, leather or suede soled shoes are always best. Sneakers and rubber soled shoes tend to squeak on the floor and can be quite difficult to dance in. Special dance shoes are available for purchase from the studio however for our beginners and social dancers these are not a necessary requirement.
When can I practice what I have learnt?
DanceWerx hold Social Party and Practice Evenings on the last Friday of every month. They start at 7.30pm and run til late. The cost is $10 per person, BYO drinks and nibblies. We also have spectacular floorshows and entertainment.
