Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Go to the Monday 10 am open company class at Equilibrium Dance Academy, 1802 S. Broad Street. Sign the liability form on arrival and pay $10 on site. Email the company first if you want to know the class level..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Each open company class runs one hour, from 10 to 11 am on Mondays, at Equilibrium Dance Academy on South Broad Street. You sign a liability form, pay $10 in cash or by Venmo, and take the class, and the page asks everyone to arrive on time. The company does not describe the level of the class, so email before your first visit if you are new to dance.
Tips for your first visit
- Arrive on time, since the page asks everyone to.
- Bring cash or the Venmo app for the $10 fee.
- Sign the liability form before you take the class.
- Email the company first to ask about level or beginners, because the site does not say.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The Monday classes are open to the public, need no registration, and cost $10 a class, so the way in is clear. The page does not say the class level or whether beginners are welcome..
