How Do Makeup Lessons Work for Beginner Latin Dance Sessions?
Missing a class does not mean you have to fall behind in your dance journey. Our beginner Latin dance sessions build skills step by step each week. When you know you will miss a class, notifying us early is the most important step. We encourage students to communicate as soon as possible. This allows us to guide you toward the best available options for catching up on your missed steps.
To qualify for a makeup lesson, advance notice is required before your scheduled class starts. Please send a quick text message to our team to inform us of your absence. Giving us early notice helps us manage class sizes and reserve space for you in a makeup slot. Unexcused absences without prior text notification may not be eligible for a makeup option, so clear communication is essential.
Makeup lessons are typically completed by attending another scheduled beginner class during the current session cycle. Because Latin dance concepts build on previous weeks, completing your makeup promptly keeps your momentum strong. We will let you know which days and times have open spots that match your skill level. Make sure to schedule your makeup class as close to the missed date as possible.
Please note that makeup lessons must be completed within the current session timeframe. We cannot roll unused makeup credits over into future multi-week session cycles. This policy ensures that our group classes remain balanced and comfortable for everyone. If you have questions about your specific session timeline, text our studio team directly. We are always happy to help you check your remaining schedule.
When attending your makeup class, arrive a few minutes early to check in with the instructor. Let them know you are taking a makeup session so they can offer extra support if needed. You will jump right into the warm-up and practice basic Latin footwork alongside the group. Wearing comfortable dance shoes and flexible clothing will help you get the most out of your makeup experience.

How far in advance must I notify the studio to get a makeup lesson?
You should notify us by text before your scheduled class begins. Providing advance notice allows our team to log your absence and help you book a makeup slot. Failure to notify us prior to class may forfeit your makeup privilege.
Can I transfer my makeup class to the next session cycle?
Makeup lessons must be completed during your active session cycle and cannot roll over to future months. This helps keep class sizes balanced and ensures you stay on track with your group level. Text 717-PaSamba if you need help finding an open makeup time before your session ends.
