Performance Classes
Students do not have to audition to join the Performance Class, however there are some minimum requirements. If you are new to iFreeStyle.ca or if we have never danced with you, a free assessment will be required before you are acceptance into the class. This is to ensure that the class can learn together at an intermediate/advanced level pace.
There are no make up classes for missed classes. To catch up with the material, you can schedule a private lesson with your instructor or try to learn the material from one of the other students.
Partners are not required to sign up. We will match you with a partner. To participate in a Bachata Performance Class, you must sign up with a partner. For other performance classes, you can make requests to be partners. They must fulfill the necessary pre-requisites.
While this course is intended to help solidify On2 timing, all students who are interested in participating in a performance class must have experience dancing salsa On2 at an intermediate-level. Basics will not be taught. If you are interested in joining a performance class and already have On1 experience, you can prepare for the performance class by dropping into our On2 Fundamentals classes to learn/refresh On2 timing.
If you are joining the Performance Class and there are no understudy positions, then all participants are expected to perform. If you are joining a Choreography Performance Class, then you may elect to chose the Choreography program and not perform.
Students should wear comfortable, loose, stretchy pants. Jeans are not recommended. Tops/t-shirts should also be stretchy, but should be more form fitting to allow the instructor to see and correct body and arm work. Unless otherwise stated, male dancers should wear dance shoes (jazz slippers or dance sneakers) and female dancers should wear high heels.
We highly recommend bringing bottled water to keep hydrated during class. Please be considerate of other students, and practice good hygiene (keep mints, fresh change of clothes, deodorant on hand).
