PURPOSE
“From The Top” is catered to beginner-level dancers seeking a safe, fun, and interactive environment to build confidence, explore creativity and individuality, and learn dance basics in order to build the strong foundation necessary for the start of your dance journey.
In each session of this course, you can expect clear and concise lectures, application of lessons through dance activities, and a weekly take-home assignment to further apply and reflect on what was learned. You can also expect individualized constructive feedback to further foster growth based on your goals.”
BACKGROUND
When I first started dance, I did not have a mentor to teach me dance fundamentals so I was forced to learn unconventionally through word-of-mouth, years of dance workshops, and being a part of multiple dance teams. This backwards form of learning resulted in developing “bad” dance habits that hindered the efficiency of my dancing. It was through unlearning those habits and relearning proper foundational technique where I finally became the dancer I am today.
With this course, I am hoping to provide the mentorship that I would have benefitted from starting out as a beginner dancer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What skill level do I need to be to take a TAG course?
Required background for each TAG course will vary, though most courses are open to students of all levels. If you need further details or assistance, please reach out and consult with our front desk staff.
How big are classes sizes for TAG?
Class sizes will depend on the number of people signed up for a course. Class sizes may range from 3-10 people.
Can I take more than one TAG at a time?
Yes, as long as there is no schedule overlap among the courses you would like to sign up for, you can take more than one TAG course at a time. Each course will be individually charged the full amount.
What happens when I withdraw my enrollment during the TAG course?
The initial payment is non-refundable, however for any monthly payments already made, customers will be refunded for a prorated amount equivalent to the amount of any sessions beyond the time of withdrawal.
For example: A customer has paid the $180 initial payment and the first installment of $70. The customer only attended two sessions and has decided to withdraw from the course. This customer will receive a $35.00 refund.
Why is pricing different for monthly payments dependent on the number of students?
The number of students within each TAG course influences the amount of time each individual student will have with the mentor of the course. Thus, depending on the number of students enrolled in the course, the price will scale accordingly.
