FAQ
Can I reschedule or cancel a session I've already paid for?
Drop-in sessions are non-refundable but you can apply the credit to another session in the same calendar month if you let Hiroshi know at least 24 hours before. Monthly passes are valid for the calendar month only and do not roll over.
Do I need any dance experience to join a regular class?
Hip-Hop Fundamentals and Contemporary Flow are genuinely built for beginners. Jazz Funk moves faster and works better if you have some movement background, even if it's from a different style. If you're unsure, come to a trial class first and Hiroshi will tell you honestly where you'd fit.
How do I pay, and can I pay by card?
Payment is cash at the door for drop-in sessions. Monthly passes can be paid by bank transfer. There is no card reader at the studio currently. The trial class fee is ¥2,000 cash on the day.
Is there parking nearby?
The studio is on the second floor of a building in Chuo-ku, about a seven-minute walk from Niigata Station. There is a coin parking lot on the next block. The closest bus stop is a two-minute walk.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable clothes you can move in. For hip-hop and jazz funk, clean indoor trainers are ideal. For contemporary, bare feet or socks work fine. Bring a water bottle. There is a small changing area but no lockers, so leave valuables at home.
