Arrival & attendance
Doors open 10 minutes before the class start time. Please arrive within that window of time so you are not entering the studio at the exact time your class begins.
Please remain quiet if there is a class in progress when you arrive.
Email us if you need to arrive late OR if you are going to be absent. Your instructor's name is in the class schedule online.
***Note: We don't offer free make-up classes or refunds for absences. We don’t reteach for missed classes. If you miss a class, you can log onto the app (see below) and ask a classmate for assistance or see if we posted any notes/videos.
general policies
Not permitted: chewing gum, loud jewelry and jewelry that can get caught/ripped out, peanuts (may result in hospitalization of other TDFsters), strongly scented body sprays, outdoor shoes on dance floor.
Cell phones need to be on silent when in the studio and not brought onto the studio floor unless you are on call or we ask you to film yourself.
Only dancers, staff, and TDF representatives are permitted on premises during class time for all classes at TDF (including youth classes).
heels & sneakers
HEELS: Open toe bootie style shoes (3”-4” generally) work best. Please no platform, wedge, or chunky heels! THIS pair works well for Intro through Adv Beg levels. We also LOVE Burju shoes and offer a 10% discount (see below).
SNEAKERS: We love Reebok Classics and similar styles (Puma, Nike, etc). Sneakers with non-linear tread that don’t have thick, squishy soles are best. Fuego sneakers are also a hit, and we offer a 10% discount (see below).
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS: View a list of our other product recommendations on our website here.
Reminder: ALL shoes worn to class must be dedicated to in-studio use only, and not worn outside of the studio. You’re welcome to clean a personal pair off for this purpose, but they cannot be worn outside then worn in the studio.
