Can I join the current 4-week class already in progress (say, during the second or third week)? Not recommended! Don't forget that our classes are always 2 hours long. During the first week of any class, quite a lot of fundamental information is presented: the principles and characteristics of that particular dance, what to listen for in the music of that dance, "ideal" posture and frame versus "realistic" posture and frame, floor courtesy, and more. Plus, the instructor will define terminology which will be used throughout the course. By the second week of class there is an expectation that you are already familiar with the 2 hours of material covered in the 1st week. We don't have the time to go into such great detail again, because we have a full agenda for the remaining weeks of class. It isn't fair to the other students in the class, to expect the instructor to slow down for a late-comer, at the expense of moving on with the curriculum. If you really and truly want to join a class in progress, speak to the instructor about doing a private lesson to catch up on all that you missed.
