The Bay Dance Company offers all students the opportunity to take their first class as a free trial class. To take a free trial class, students can sign up online or at the front desk prior to class starting. A liability waiver that includes a parent signature is required to take a free trial class. If a student chooses to register/enroll for classes after the free trial, then normal tuition and registration fees apply. If a student would like to continue taking classes at a drop-in rate, then the fee is $20 per class.

Drop-in classes are available to dancers of all ages and skill levels. You can pay per class and sign-up in-person at the studio. If this is your first time at The Bay Dance Company, and you choose to sign up for either a drop-in or free trial class at the front desk, then please fill out our drop-in waiver and bring it with you to class.
