Frequently Asked Questions

Kohufay isn't just another dance studio - we're a rhythm revolution! Our unique approach combines technical precision with unbridled creative expression. We believe everyone has a dancer waiting to break free, which is why our instructors create a judgment-free zone where you can stumble, fall, and rise again with confidence. Our carefully crafted progression system ensures you build skills seamlessly, whether you're taking your first dance step or refining your advanced techniques.

Joining our dance family is as simple as a two-step! Visit our "Classes" page where you can browse available courses, then click "Register" on your chosen class. Fill out our quick digital form, select your payment option, and voilà – you're officially on the dance roster! If technology isn't your strong suit, give our dance concierge a call at the studio number, and we'll waltz you through the registration process. Remember, many popular classes fill quickly, so securing your spot early means you won't miss a beat!

Pack light but right for your dance debut! Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated (dancing is more of a workout than most expect), a small towel for those passionate moments when you break a sweat, and comfortable clothes you can move freely in. Footwear depends on your dance style – for salsa and ballroom, smooth-soled shoes work best; for hip-hop, clean sneakers are perfect. Most importantly, bring your enthusiasm and leave perfectionism at home. Your first class is about discovery, not mastery – the only requirement is an open mind ready to embrace new movements!

At Kohufay, our dance menu is as diverse as the rhythms that move the world! We've curated a vibrant collection of styles including the passionate embrace of Salsa, the elegant sweep of Ballroom (waltz, tango, foxtrot), the urban energy of Hip-Hop, the expressive flow of Contemporary, the precise patterns of Bachata, the joyful bounce of Swing, and the cultural richness of traditional Folk dances. Each style lives in its own dedicated program with multiple levels, allowing you to explore broadly or dive deeply into your chosen dance expression. Our seasonal workshops also introduce guest styles like Afrobeat, K-pop, and Break Dancing – because at Kohufay, we believe movement knows no boundaries!

Our courses are choreographed to fit your life's rhythm! Standard courses run in 8-week cycles with one 90-minute class per week – the sweet spot for skill development without overwhelming your schedule. For the time-conscious dancer, we offer 4-week intensive courses with twice-weekly sessions. Those seeking a deeper immersion can enroll in our premium 12-week programs that include weekly classes plus monthly workshops. Most regular classes are scheduled evenings (6-9pm) and weekend afternoons, while our "Lunch Break Groove" sessions offer midday options for professionals. Remember that consistent attendance creates the strongest dancers – each class builds upon the last, weaving together a complete dance vocabulary in your body's memory.

We orchestrate your dance journey in every format imaginable! While our vibrant group classes form the heartbeat of Kohufay, we absolutely offer personalized private lessons that spotlight your individual development. These one-on-one sessions are tailored symphonies of instruction where challenges become breakthroughs and nuances receive dedicated attention. Many students blend both experiences – group classes for community energy and social skills, private lessons to refine specific techniques or prepare for special events. We also offer semi-private "Duo Sessions" for couples or friends, and our innovative "Spotlight Rotation" where a small group shares focused instructor time throughout the lesson. Whatever your learning style, we'll find the perfect choreography of instruction to match your dance aspirations.

The "two left feet" myth is the first thing we dispel at Kohufay! Here's our not-so-secret secret: everyone—yes, absolutely everyone—can dance. That awkwardness you feel is simply your body's unfamiliarity with new movement patterns, not an innate lack of ability. Our "Absolute Beginners" program was specifically designed with you in mind, breaking down movements into micro-steps that build muscle memory gradually. Many of our most impressive advanced dancers once swore they were "rhythmically challenged"! Dance is a language, and like any language, it simply requires patience and proper instruction. We've developed specific teaching methods for different learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—ensuring that no matter how your brain processes information, you'll find your rhythm. Your "two left feet" are about to become your greatest adventure!

Each dance style opens a unique door to movement, but some doors are designed with wider entrances for beginners! We often recommend starting with Salsa for its consistent rhythm and clear step patterns—your body quickly internalizes the 1-2-3, pause counting structure. Ballroom Waltz also offers an excellent foundation with its steady tempo and natural walking movements. Hip-hop beginners thrive because the style celebrates individual expression alongside basic steps. Rather than focusing solely on "easiest" styles, we encourage considering what music moves you naturally—the style that makes your foot tap unconsciously might be your perfect match despite perceived difficulty. Our "Dance Discovery" workshop lets you sample five different styles in one session, helping your body reveal which language it's most eager to speak. Remember, the "best" style is ultimately the one that sparks joy when you practice!

Not at all! The dance floor welcomes soloists with open arms at Kohufay. While partner dances like ballroom and salsa ultimately involve two people moving as one, learning the foundational techniques works perfectly well as an individual journey. In our classes, we implement a rotation system where everyone changes partners regularly—this develops your adaptability (a hallmark of truly skilled dancers) and builds a supportive community atmosphere. Many lifelong friendships and even a few romances have blossomed from our rotation system! For those who prefer consistency, we offer both "Singles Welcome" and "Established Partners Only" class options. The beautiful truth about partner dancing is that by mastering your individual part first, you become a more intuitive, responsive partner later. Come as you are—your dance counterparts are already waiting in the circle!

We've choreographed our pricing to balance quality instruction with accessibility. Standard 8-week courses range from $120-180 (just $15-22 per class), depending on the style and level. For those testing the waters, our flexible "Dance Card" offers 5 single classes for $95, usable across different styles. Private lessons start at $65 per hour, with packages providing meaningful savings. We're particularly proud of our "Community Access" program—each season, we reserve 10% of our spots at reduced rates for students, seniors, and those facing financial constraints. Remember that Kohufay isn't just selling classes; we're investing in your long-term development through our comprehensive curriculum, specialized facilities, and instructors who continue their own education. Many students find our "Unlimited Pass" ($245 monthly) the best value, allowing access to multiple styles and accelerating their progress through additional practice time.

We believe in rewarding dance dedication with value that matches your commitment! Our "Movement Multiplier" system offers increasing discounts with multiple class enrollments: 10% off your second course, 15% off your third. Bringing friends creates mutual benefits through our "Dance Tribe" referral program—you both receive $25 credit when they register. Early registration (3+ weeks before course start) automatically applies a 7% "Early Bird" discount. For those seeking immersion, our "Style Bundles" combine complementary dance forms (like Salsa + Bachata or Ballet + Contemporary) at 20% less than individual registration. Long-term value comes with our seasonal packages: the "Quarterly Commitment" (12 weeks) saves 15% over monthly rates, while the "Annual Rhythm" package offers premium access at nearly 25% savings. Additionally, healthcare workers, educators, military personnel, and first responders receive our "Community Heroes" discount of 10% on all regular-priced programs as our way of saying thank you for your service.

We understand life's choreography sometimes changes unexpectedly! Our policy balances flexibility with our need to maintain quality class sizes. For course registrations, cancellations made 7+ days before the start date receive a 100% refund or transfer credit. Within 6 days to 24 hours before the first class, we offer an 85% refund or 100% transfer credit to a future course. After a course begins, we provide pro-rated transfer credit (minus attended classes) if you notify us before the second session. For those genuinely uncertain about dance, our "First Step Guarantee" allows new students to try the first class and receive a full refund if it's not a good fit (simply notify us within 24 hours after class). Private lessons require 24-hour cancellation notice for rescheduling without penalty. For packages and memberships, we can pause your subscription for up to 30 days annually for travel or illness. While we maintain these policies for standard situations, we pride ourselves on human understanding—if you're facing exceptional circumstances, please reach out for a conversation rather than assuming no options exist.
