SURVIVAL TIPS
Many who attend our Student Appreciation come to both the workshops and social! Here's some tips on how to make the most of the day! *Reminder that this event is open to all! You don't have to be an iFreeStyle.ca student to enjoy the workshops or social! Invite your friends, co-workers, and other dance lovers to join the fun!
- Give yourself time to find the venue, park, change your shoes, register, put your stuff somewhere, go to the washroom etc. Plan your day ahead of time so you can enjoy the day!
- Arrive EARLY! Doors open at 10:15am to check in and pay (cash or debit only)! You can pay for all your workshops at once! If you're not taking the first workshop, come at least 15 minutes before your workshop to check in and pay!
- Bring changes of clothes for workshops. Wear clothes that allow you to move freely! Keep yourself dry for your comfort and your partner's :)
- Stay fresh :) Keep fragrances light, but do bring your wipes, deodorant, breath mints to keep you and others comfortable.
- Bring your camera/smartphone to record the demo at the end of the workshops. *No recording during the workshops. Focus on learning in real-time!
- Bring water to the workshops! You'll need to hydrate during the workshops, so make sure you have water and snacks to fuel your body!
- While we recommend heels for ladies, come prepared with some comfy shoes just in case (especially for those of you taking all the workshops!)
- Check the workshop schedule and sign up ahead of time.
- Check the deals and bring cash! You must be AT the social the take advantage of the deals. We pay the tax! Cash or debit payments only (no credit card payments). The deals will not be extended or offered earlier, so don't miss it.
