Your first class

Here's exactly what happens

  1. Book ahead

    Reserve your spot in Recess so your teacher knows you're coming.

  2. Head straight to your classroom

    There's no front desk. The schedule shows your room, so walk right in.

  3. Say hello

    Tell your teacher it's your first class. They'll take it from there.

  4. Go at your own pace

    Take breaks anytime. No one expects you to get it all on day one.

  5. Celebrate

    Showing up is the hardest part, and you did it.

FAQ

Questions new dancers ask

Am I too old to start?

No. Adults start dancing with us at every age. The best time to begin is whenever you're ready.

Do I need any dance experience?

None at all. The first path on this page was made for people who have never taken a class.

What if I don't have a dancer's body?

If you have a body and you want to move it, you have a dancer's body. Our classes focus on how movement makes you feel, not how you look.

What if I can't keep up?

You don't have to. Go at your own pace and ask questions anytime. Every teacher here has welcomed nervous beginners before.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Footwear depends on the class, and your teacher will guide you. Bring a water bottle.

We'll see you at the barre.
