Is there a registration/membership fee?
	Registration is free and we do not charge a membership fee. We only charge you for the classes you take.
Does Peridance offer scholarships, work-study, or other types of financial aid?
	Peridance does not offer scholarships but we have a work-study exchange program that includes positions such as behind the front desk, in the café, and office internships. Work-study students earn classes hour-for hour, and redeem them at a very reduced rate or for free. Detailed information about work-study exchange positions can be found on the Job Opportunities page.

	Yes, we generally offer a group rate of $15 per person for groups of 10 or more. The schedule groups and find out more about our Groups Program, please contact Samantha Ringstaff at groups@peridance.com or 212-505-0886.
Do I need to register for class?
	For our adult open classes, you do not need to register for class. For your very first visit to Peridance, you will need to fill out a short registration form and show photo ID. On any subsequent visits, no matter if it is the next day or the next year, you will not need to fill out any registration forms. Simply sign in and pay for class! For our workshops, you can pre-register online or at our front desk, often for a discounted price. Pre-registration for workshops is usually not necessary, but it can ensure you a spot before the workshop gets full.
How do I register for workshops?
	To pre-register for workshops, you can visit our front desk or you can register online.
What kinds of classes do you offer?
	Peridance is proud to offer a wide range of weekly classes from your technical staples to the cutting-edge popular styles. We also offer body-conditioning classes. Class styles include Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Gaga, Jazz, Theater, Hip Hop, House, Tap, Salsa, Flamenco, African, Bagua, Sword Fighting, Zumba, Yoga, Stretch, Pilates, GYROKINESIS®, Bellydance, and more. View our schedule of classes for a complete overview and links to class descriptions. We also offer children's classes through the The School at Peridance.
What class level is right for me?
	You’ll notice each class has a designated skill level. The level key below will help you decide which level is appropriate for you. Open (Open) – Comprised of a mixed level of students Introductory (Intro) – Absolutely no previous experience required Beginner (Beg) – No previous experience required Advanced-Beginner (Adv-Beg) – Requires some knowledge of basic vocabulary/steps Slow-Intermediate (Slow-Inter) – Requires knowledge of steps but not proficiency Intermediate (Inter) - Technical proficiency required Advanced-Intermediate (Adv-Inter) – A more challenging class for those with technical proficiency Advanced (Adv) - Professional level
What should I wear to class?
	In general, what you wear to class should be loose or stretchy enough so that you are comfortable and have freedom to move, but tight enough so that your instructor can see the lines of your body and no material gets in your way. Appropriate attire for most styles includes leotards, tights, leggings, or yoga outfits. Several techniques also require specific footwear. For example, ballet requires soft ballet slippers, jazz requires jazz shoes or dance sneakers, modern is barefoot, etc. If you have questions about what is appropriate for a particular style, please feel free to ask!
Can I buy dancewear at the studio?
	As the name suggests, Peridance Capezio Center is partnered with the dancewear company Capezio/Ballet Makers Inc., and we have a Capezio dancewear boutique on the building's lower level. The Capezio Boutique at Peridance is open M-F 11:00am â€“ 6:30pm, and Saturday noon â€“ 5:00pm. You can call ahead to verify that what you need is in-stock or get it ordered for pick up: 212-388-0876. We also have very stylish Peridance logo merchandise for sale! Ask at the front desk.
Can foreign students take classes?
	Dancers from all over the world take classes at Peridance! As long as you have a Photo ID to show on your first visit, then you are good to go! We recommend you bring some cash (USD) just in case your internationally-based credit or debit card is giving you problems on your overseas trip. If you are interested in long-term programs for international students (including the F-1 Visa Programs) please visit the International Student Program page. Peridance offers several three-, six-, 12-month, and two-year programs.
Are there children’s classes?
	We recommend that children under the age of 15 not take the open adult classes. Peridance proudly offers the PeriChild Program to children ages 18 months to 18 years. Visit the The School at Peridance website to find out more about this esteemed program, its class offerings, and performance opportunities.
Are there any performance opportunities?
	There are performance opportunities for children in the The School at Peridance. Adult dancers may be able to perform at Peridance through certain workshops with an informal showing element at the end of the course, or through the biannual Peridance Faculty and Student Showcases held in Peridance’s in-house theater. Students enrolled in any of our International Student Programs or Certificate Program also have established performance opportunities as part of their curriculum.
