Courses

We offer a wide range of dance classes for multiple experience levels. If you are an absolute beginner without any prior experience then we recommend starting with one of our “Beginner” courses. Our courses are designed for progressive learning, with a stronger focus on technique, development and individual feedback. They’re the best choice for beginners learning from the ground up or experienced dancers looking to refine and build their technique over time.

Prices below are for attending IN-STUDIO (1/147 Swan St, Richmond VIC), and reflect the full course fee.

Sessions for each course run for 1 hour unless indicated otherwise

Can’t commit to a full course or looking for casual classes only? Check out our CASUAL CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Some courses below may also available as an online option via Zoom – view our ONLINE schedule here

Classes run Monday–Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, but for all enquiries please call us Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm.

Multiple Course Discount

Sign up for multiple courses for the same term, and the following bulk discounts will apply automatically at checkout: Full price for 1st course, 10% off the 2nd course, 25% off⁠ both the 3rd & 4th course!*

*No discounts apply for casual class, concept videos, workshops & online courses

Multiple course registrations must be completed in the same transaction (i.e. if you sign up for another course later, discount does not apply).

Showcase is a separate term, therefore any discounts for showcase applies only for multiple showcase courses.

Cancellation, Refunds & Credits

No refunds or credits can be issued for cancelling your enrollment or missing class under any circumstances, including change of mind, illness, injury, pregnancy, pandemics, or absence from class for any reason. However, if you complete the full course without missing any in-studio sessions, and are not satisfied for any reason, then a refund will be issued.

In the rare event that your teacher is unable to take a class (e.g illness) then a guest teacher will be arranged or the class may be rescheduled or cancelled. For any cancelled classes or courses by Studio J, a full refund will be issued for the class/es affected.

Missed Classes & Absences

There are no refunds, transfers or credits for missed classes or absences. We encourage you to complete all sessions of your course as they are designed to progress week after week. However, we understand life happens, so we have mini recordings of your class, practice videos and group chats in place to make it easier for you to stay on track and get the most out of your course.

For those courses which end with a video shoot, we do require students to have attended at least 75% of the course (e.g 6 out of 8 weeks) to ensure that they have kept up with choreography and formations. If a student misses more than that, they are expected to catch up via the class recordings and the teacher may also review suitability for participation in the group video.

Age Requirement

You must be over 18 years of age to participate in all our in-studio courses. For those aged 16-17, enrollments will be considered upon request.

Class Photos & Videos

Our teachers and some students occasionally take photos and videos during class, plus our courses finish with a professionally edited dance video. We may use any of this footage on our website, social media, and promotional material. If you don’t feel comfortable with this, then please let your teacher know at the start of the course and make sure you opt out of any photos or video filming during class. If you don’t tell us, we won’t know that you’re not ok with us using footage of you.

Medical Precautions

Not all exercises are suitable for everyone, and dance like any other exercise program can result in injury. Certain special cautions may apply to individuals who are pregnant, injured, disabled, or have special issues regarding health and/or physical condition. You must be in suitable physical health to undertake these classes.

You understand the risks inherent to dance and fully assume those risks and/or have sought medical advice prior to starting class. You hereby release Studio J Dance and its teachers from liability for injuries sustained while participating in any dance classes, rehearsals or workshops.

Pregnancy OR Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

We encourage you to look after yourself. You acknowledge and understand the nature of the activities you will be engaged in and the possibility that an injury or accident may occur. You agree that you are responsible for looking after your body and working within its possible limitations.

If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition, you should seek advice and clearance from a medical practitioner before enrolling. Please let us know at the start of the course, or as soon as you know and make sure you have your medical practitioner’s clearance to exercise. We cannot offer medical advice.

Studio J is not in any way responsible for exacerbation of injuries, accidents, or injuries resulting from participation in a Studio J class. If you are working with an injury please let your teacher know but note that you are solely responsible for looking after yourself whilst moving by modifying movements, resting if you need to or opting out of certain moves or classes altogether.
