  • What should I wear?
    Wear something you are comfortable sweating in. Tees, tanks, and leggings are common. Your shoes should be indoor-only and athletic in style. Running shoes or cross-trainers are ideal for Hip Hop styles and Zumba. Socks or bare feet for classes like ballet, jazz, and contemporary. Pack a reusable water bottle but please leave glass bottles or jars at home.
  • I'm a beginner, can I take classes?
    Most of our classes are beginner-friendly. We recommend for you tro try our Intro level classes first which are designed specifically for beginners. Many of our students have little or no dance experience and our open-level classes are also designed with this in mind. Check out our New Dancer page for info!
  • How are classes structured?
    All of the classes start with some kind of warm-up exercises. For example, in ballet, you start at the barre. After the warm-up, you work on short combinations of steps and moves and finally, a choreographed combination that changes week to week.
  • What if I can't do everything in class?
    We give you a blueprint of movement and are happy for you to make it your own based on what you’re comfortable with. Our instructors can also provide alternative options if you have an injury. We're not here for competition or performance, it's all about feeling good and we're here to help you get there.
  • What should I NOT bring?
    Valuables. Although the studio is well-monitored, things can go missing. You're welcome to take things into the studio with you, but make sure they're out of the way and not a tripping hazard. iDance Vancouver is not responsible for loss or theft of personal property.
  • Is there parking?
    At our Mt Pleasant location, there is available parking in the surrounding side streets. Our Kitsilano location has ample free 60-minute parking, and tons of street parking. (The Kitsilano studio is located right beside the No Frills main entrance)
  • How do I get studio updates?
