Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My child doesn't take formal dance lessons. Can he/she register for Pure Dance?
A: Pure Dance is geared towards dancers who are currently training, whether it be at a dance studio (competitive or recreational), in a dance program at a school, or have any other type of dance education. As we want everyone to leave feeling like they have grown as dancers, the classes will be taught at a pace consistent with those of classes at a competitive dance studio. That being said, if you have no dance experience, you are welcome to attend if you're up for a challenging and fun day of learning!
Q: What type of classes are offered?
A: At Pure Dance we have a faculty that is experienced in many different genres of dance. At each event we usually have classes in jazz, contemporary, hip hop, lyrical and jazz funk.
Q: I live in Sydney, Australia, which means the workshop would start at 1am my time. I don’t want to stay up all night - can I still take part?
A: ABSOLUTELY! When you purchase a ticket, you will have access to the livestream for that day, AS WELL AS recordings of each class that will be up for 48 hours after the live workshop ends. So that means you can take all of the classes on your own schedule!
Q: My child dances at a much more advanced level than his/her age group. Can I register in the Senior level (for example) even though my dancer is only 12?
A: The age groups set out for the levels are purely a guideline. It is up to the discretion of the parent/dancer as to which level to register the dancer in. Keep in mind that you are not permitted to switch levels once you have registered.
Q: What do I need for my home setup to make sure my son/daughter has everything they need for the day?
A: You will need a good internet connection, plus a laptop, tablet, or smart phone. Our faculty understand that most dancers will be taking class in their own home, so they will ensure the choreography can be executed in small spaces, like your living room or makeshift basement studio!
Q: How do I login for the workshop?
A: Each workshop will be hosted through a platform called Whova. We will send an e-mail closer to the date with instructions on how to login, create your profile, and engage with other attendees!
Q: On Whova, will my information be available for all other attendees to see?
A: Once you’ve logged in, you will be asked to create a profile on Whova. The bare minimum information each dancer must include is their name - but you can add more to your profile if you so choose! Just remember that all attendees will be able to see your profile, UNLESS you select “ghost mode”, in which case your information will be hidden from all other attendees.
Q: Is your online registration/checkout secure?
A: Absolutely! Your security is our number one priority! Our platform, Whova, uses Stripe for all payment and checkout processing.
Q: Can I register by mail?
A: At this time, we are only accepting registration online.
Q: Will all of the Pure Dance faculty be at every event?
A: We guarantee at least 4 faculty members will be teaching at each event. Since our faculty is currently working in the dance and film/TV industry, occasionally another job will pull them away from Pure Dance. If this happens, we will replace them with one of our other amazingly talented faculty members!
