Questions

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account page and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.

Can I get a refund?

Paid plans are non-refundable, which is why the free account exists: look around, watch the free lessons and decide from there.

Is this for beginners or experienced dancers?

Both. Start with Foundation and Walking, or go straight to sacadas, colgadas or musical interpretation.
