Scholarships are available to students in need. Please fill out this form to be considered for a scholarship.

Semester/monthly registration packages and drop-ins are non-refundable.

Monthly class packages are priced and designed to be used within the same calendar month in which they are purchased and are intended for students who join us regularly each week. Please note that the monthly packages:

  • Must be used in the month of purchase; unused classes do not roll over to future months.
  • Cannot be used as drop-ins or as a flexible “class card” for occasional attendance.
  • Are non-transferable and non-refundable once the month begins.

If you prefer maximum flexibility and want to come only occasionally, you are welcome to purchase single classes instead, understanding that the per-class cost will be higher than the monthly package rate. This helps us keep class sizes consistent, support our teaching artists, and continue offering high-quality Afro-Brazilian dance experiences to our community.
