Class starts with a warm up and stretch for 10-15 minutes. Depending on the teacher, they can go straight to teaching the routine, or they can do some foundational and/or technical exercises before teaching a routine. After teaching the full routine, it is practiced several times. If time permits, a quick cool down is done at the end of the class.

Class: is a casual, drop-in type of lesson where a new routine is taught each week to a different son. Suitable for people who can't make the commitments of a course.

Course: is a set of weekly classes (general D2MG courses are over 5 weeks) that can have a common theme (i.e. "a stylin' theme such as Sexy Stylin', etc" or a performance course) as well as the individual street styles. Courses have more structured lessons including foundation, technique and routines, building on each week to work more closely with students to monitor their progress.

General courses are suitable for people who want to commit to a dance goal (whether for fun, fitness, performance opportunities, etc).
Stylin' themed courses are suitable for people who want to experience a variety of related street dance styles (e.g. Sexy Stylin' offers Hip Hop, Street Jazz/Funk, Soul, Punking, Waacking, etc)

Performance courses are suitable for people who would like to be part of a group to learn routines and showcases suitable for performances, however performance opportunities are not always guaranteed. You can get a feel of what it's like to be in a dance crew, taking dance classes to the next level.

Workshop: is a special one-off class (runs between 1-2 hours) by a guest teacher, or a certain style, theme etc.

What do I wear to a dance class?

Comfortable clothing and sneakers are fine.

If you have never danced before, have limited dance experience or have gone years since your last dance classes, then we recommend you take a Beginner's class, or an "Introduction" class/course/workshop (also known as "Absolute Beginners", but no one really wants to be called an Absolute Beginner). Depending on how comfortable you are with taking the next level, it doesn't hurt to try. Just remember to keep challenging yourself!
