frequently asked questions
can i do a trial class?
​Absolutely! Send an email to holly@comebackdancecollective.com and let us know what class you’d like to try and when. if you like it, you can retroactively register at a pro-rated cost. If it’s not for you, all good!
​
what is a typical class structure?
It varies by class, but generally, we start with a warm up, some center/skill work, across the floor work, and then learn a fun combination to popular music putting together some of the skills we worked on in class.
​​
what clothing should i wear?
No dance tights necessary (but always welcome)! Wear what you would wear to the gym or a yoga class; whatever makes you feel comfortable, allows you to move freely, and wicks sweat/keeps you cool - things can get sweaty!

what footwear should i wear?
Tap requires tap shoes. You can purchase at En Pointe Boutique in Port Hope. For jazz & ballet, you can wear bare feet, sock feet, jazz shoes or ballet shoes if you have them. For Broadway, you can wear bare feet, sock feet, jazz shoes, or character shoes if you have them.

​Sorry to hear that! Classes fill really quickly. Please email holly@comebackdancecollective.com to be added to the waitlist. Because people sign up early to hold their spots, sometimes schedules change. Additionally, we may be able to open an extra spot or two, depending on the class cap and situation.
