FOR ADULTS NEW TO DANCEFIT
I purchased a Buy With Me, Trubates or Gilt City voucher in which I purchased a discounted package. How do I redeem this?
Please create a profile under DanceFIT Studio's Mind Body Registration System. Please e-mail Gina indicating you have an online login and include your voucher # and what company you purchased it from. The classes will be added to your account and you can register at your convenience. Pleaes bring a copy of your voucher to your first class.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code for adult classes. It is best to practice dance and exercise in clothes that are comfortable. You need to be able to move freely. Ballet clothes & ballet shoes are encouraged for all ballet classes.
Where can I buy ballet shoes?
Please purchase your dancewear from www.discountdancesupply.com. Enter Gina's teacher code for a discount & to give DanceFIT Studio rewards: TP30691. If you would like to purchase dancewear in person, we recommend Dancers Image in Newton or Dancers Warehouse in Wellesley.
What should I bring to class?
We have extra mats, weights & resistance bands for you to use at no additional cost. Please bring a bottle of water and your own mat if you have one. The majority of our adult students prefer to bring their own mats.
How often does the schedule change?
The adult dance & fitness schedule is ongoing and every few months we add classes and change the class times to allow more flexibilty and different workouts for your schedule. We advise you to check the schedule every week and reserve your space before coming.
If I signup for a class online & cannot attend, will I be charged for the class?
Yes, but you can go online and remove yourself 90 minutes before class and you will not be charged. If you can't cancel your class in time, please e-mail me at gina@dancefitstudio.com
Can I extend my package if I can't make it to all the classes in a two month period?
If you have purchased a 5, 10 or 20 class package it is only valid during the 2 month period. No exceptions are made to roll over your classes. Please plan accordingly when purchasing your package. A drop-in fee of $15 for adult classes is available if you are uncertain of your schedule.
As an adult I have never danced before, but would like to try a dance class, will I feel out of place?
It's never too late! We offer a wide variety of dance classes for adults, you're sure to find one that will be a perfect fit for your dance level. We are known for our easy, fun, fitness-based relaxed atmosphere, where you can progress at a pace that is comfortable for you. And yes, we welcome men as well as women!
Do I have to be in really good shape for these classes?
DanceFIT Studio is not competitive and there absolutely no judgement within the walls of our classes. So come prepared to sweat as you find the edge of your physical and inner strength. We challenge each participant to their maximum potential.
What if I am working with a previous injury or medical condition?
Always check with your health care provider prior to starting any new exercise regimen. Tell your instructor about the injury or medical condition, she will let you know if there are any safety tips which you should be mindful of. Also, work with the limits of your injury. Forcing your body will not heal it. Be sure to inform the instructor of any injuries or limiting conditions you may have.
Can I workout if I am pregnant?
Please e-mail or speak to me if you are pregnant. All of our classes can be modified safely for your pregnancy. Gina has taught classes during both of her pregnancies (up to 37 weeks), and she will spend extra time keeping your baby bump healthy and comfortable!
If I can't register online, can I still drop in?
We don't have a receptionist or too much time in between classes, which is why we prefer that you register in advance. Please e-mail gina@dancefitstudio.com or call 857-225-1888 if you can't register before you come.
What is your snow policy for adult classes?
In the event of inclement weather, dance and fitness classes may be held even though school may be cancelled. To confirm class status call 857-225-1888 and check our online schedule. There will be no refunds for such cancellations; for adult classes, we encourage you to come workout another night during the week. If a workshop is held that evening, there will be a make-up date or a refund issued.
FOR PARENTS OF DANCEFIT FOR KIDS

Can I make up missed classes?
Due to increasing enrollment in children's classes, we do not allow make-ups.
What is your snow policy for children's classes?
