FAQ

Where

Dreamlight Studio
230 Anchor Rd, Hamilton
If you are facing the plaza, we are on the right side, on the end of the building

Parking

There is parking directly in front of the studio.

What To Wear

We dance barefoot. If you are not comfortable or are unable to dance barefoot, please wear appropriate footwear (ballet shoes would be ideal; running shoes make many movements more difficult)

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in, such as yoga pants and a t-shirt/tank top or similar workout wear.

If you have a hip scarf, great! Please bring it. We have loaners in studio for you to borrow.

Class Etiquette

Please try to arrive at least 5 minutes before your class begins.  New students please arrive at least 10 mins early for registration and orientation. If you are late for your class, please warm up first before quietly entering the classroom to not disrupt the lesson. 

Please turn off or silence your cell phones during class.

If something hurts, stop! Let us know and we can help you figure out what's wrong. Often making the movement smaller or checking your alignment can solve the issue.

Please ask questions! We want everyone to understand the movements and feel comfortable with them.

Come with a positive attitude, patience and kindness to yourself and others. 

Respect your fellow students, the teacher, and any staff on location. Abusive language and actions of any kind (racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia etc.) and any form of physical or verbal harassment will not be tolerated, and the student will be asked to leave the class and studio building immediately.

Policies

Payment and Refunds

Classes must be paid for in full before the first class of a session.

There are no refunds or transfers on classes or workshops. All sales are final.

Yalla Baladi may cancel a session for reasons such as low enrollment & if this occurs, I will be notified & refunded for any paid outstanding classes.

About Pricing

Session lengths vary, the cost is based on the length of the individual session. Please consult the Schedule and Description page for information on upcoming sessions.

Classes run 60 minutes in length.

New students are welcome to join a session in progress and will only be charged for the weeks remaining.

Missed Classes

If you miss a class, you may take another class during the same session as a make-up. It is your responsibility to arrange this. Please talk to the instructor prior to the make up class to ensure that the class you want to take is appropriate.

If you are unable to make up missed classes in the current session, up to 4 classes can be made up in the following session, if the student is registered for all weeks of the next session (does not apply to partial sessions) and upon approval by the instructor.

Cancelled Classes

If a class has to be cancelled because a snowstorm or other weather event, please check Facebook and Instagram, as I am not always able to contact all students directly.  In the case of unforeseen class cancellations, I will make all efforts to contact you.
You will either receive a free make up class or credit for one extra class.
