Class Duration: Classes are one hour, unless otherwise indicated.

Class Size: Classes sizes depend on the size of the studio or ballroom we are teaching in. All classes are subject to cancellation if the minimum enrollment of 8 people is not met.

No Partner? No Worries! You do not need a partner for our classes — we rotate partners during class. In addition to dancing with a friend or mate, you'll meet the other students and improve your lead and follow skills.

Costs: Unless otherwise noted, group classes are $60 for a four-week session per class, with pre-registration. When you enroll in two or more classes during one session, you may receive further discounts. You can also take advantage of our popular, flexible option of the 10-Class Pass, which includes savings as well. (Please see Payments page for details.)

Private Lessons: Lessons are scheduled at times when no group classes are in session. Lessons are available 7 days a week. If you are unable to make your pre-scheduled lesson appointment, please call to reschedule at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled time in order to avoid being charged for the lesson. Our package prices are displayed at www.studioviva.com/payments.htm

Refunds: Due to our very generous conditions, no refunds are offered if the students miss classes in the sessions started.
We do reserve the right to offer a refund to students with special circumstances. If you cannot start your paid session, you can defer the start of your paid session for up to 6 months. As the 10-class passes expire in 12 months from the date of purchase, the purchase price is unrefundable. Transferring the passes is allowed within the valid time period. Please call 847-991-0414 if you would like to transfer your pass to someone else.

What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing and soft soled shoes. Ladies may wear high heels —leather sole shoes work best. If necessary, we will help you get dance shoes made for the type of dance you are learning.
