How do I pay for a class pack? Can you charge me for it?It is easiest if you input your own payment method and it's fairly simple :) I know it takes a little time to figure this out, but once you get it all set you will be good to go for easy bookings every week! I can help you with anything if you need more instructions. #1 - Using the Fit by Wix app is going to save you a lot of time from having to remember your login details. Here is a link to download that: https://apps.wix.com/place-invites/invite-lp/v2?inviteId=e88f35c9-5b70-4e73-acfc-7b3ca6db286b&ref=mam #2 - Navigate to the tab that says pricing plans and purchase there :) Each week you will book a class and use your class pack to book it! It will prompt you to use your class pack. #3 - If you don't want to use the app... here is a link to purchase the 5 class pack: https://www.iandedancecompany.com/plans-pricing You will have to "Sign Up" and remember those login details to access your class pack.

Do I need to pre-register for classes?Yes! You must pre-register for every class you plan to attend as we have a limited capacity so make sure to save your spot! :)
-
Do I have to commit to more than one class?No! You pay per class. Every week is a NEW combo, so you don't miss a thing. You do not have to sign up for the same class each week! You can mix up what you use your class pack on to try new dance styles :)
-
What kind of shoes should I wear?Contemporary Jazz Class: Bare Feet or Socks Modern Class: Bare Feet or Socks Ballet Class: Socks or Ballet Shoes Dance Strength & Conditioning Class: Bare Feet or Socks Hip Hop Class: Clean Tennis Shoes (no wet or dirty shoes are allowed on the dance floor. Pack the shoes in your backpack that you plan to dance in) Jazz Heels Class: We suggest starting with a 3-3.5" stiletto heel and make sure they are supportive of your ankle. A peephole in the toe is also going to help give your toes room as you dance! If your bottom is slick we also suggest purchasing a non-stick shoe pad to place on the bottom. (We have a limited amount available at the studio that you can purchase or here is a link to some on amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZPSY1HK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Shoe example:
