What do I need to bring?
A water bottle, a towel, a willingness to learn...and a great sense of humour. Like the rest of us, you can leave your worries and cares at the door!
Do I need a partner
No, you don't need to bring a partner to dance with - there are plenty of teachers and other students you will be able to dance with throughout your time at the studio. But if you have a partner, they're always welcome too!
What do I wear?
Dress in neat, casual and comfortable clothes. Wear comfortable shoes that you will be able to dance in - unless you already own dance shoes, in which case you can change into those in the ballroom.
Are memberships available?
Absolutely! We offer a range of very reasonable and flexible membership rates from Kids through to Adults. We also provide options for how often you would like to come and dance, and even how many sessions you would like to do.
Do I have to become a member?
Not at all. A few of our clients 'pay as they go', and some are members of other studios that just like to come and be part of the fun at Motiv8, every now and then. You can choose when and how you want to be part of the studio - you're always welcome!
How many students are in each class?
Class sizes vary depending on the level, style of dance...and even time of year. We keep our class sizes 'manageable' and those sessions that become super-popular will have multiple teachers to ensure each of the students has a great experience.
Do I need previous experience?
We cater for everyone at Motiv8 Dance - from the '2-left-feet' newcomer to the seasoned dancer. Many of our teachers specialise in and love teaching beginners, so feel totally comfortable walking into our ballroom for the first time - we promise to make your first steps fantastic.
Do you do private lessons?
Almost all of our teachers are available to take you for a private lesson. It's a great way to master a dance, and one of the fastest ways to build confidence in any style. Just have a chat to any one of our teachers, and they will be happy to find a time that works for you both.
