What happens if our studio cancels a group class?
If Dennis PaSamba Dance Company cancels a group class due to extreme weather or an unforeseen studio issue, we notify all registered students immediately. We send text messages and emails as soon as a decision is made so you do not drive out to our location unnecessarily. Our studio is located at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. in the Irving Park neighborhood near Six Corners in Chicago, IL 60641. We make sure you get the message quickly.
When a class is canceled by the studio, you will not lose that lesson or your investment. Our standard group classes are $95 for 4 weeks of instruction. If we cancel one of those four weekly sessions, we automatically extend the series by adding a make-up class to the end of the term. You still receive the full four weeks of training that you paid for, with no hassle or complicated steps on your end.
In rare cases where extending the schedule by an extra week is not possible, we issue a class credit to your account. You can apply that credit toward a future four-week group class series at our studio. We want to ensure that every student gets complete value from their registration fee. Your spots are always preserved, and we work hard to make sure your learning progression continues smoothly without interruptions.
You never need a partner to join our group classes, as all partners rotate continuously throughout every single session. If a class cancellation occurs, this policy stays completely unchanged for the make-up date. When you return for the rescheduled session, you will rotate with other dancers just as usual. Our goal is to maintain a supportive, fun, and reliable community environment for every dancer in Chicago.
We encourage all students to make sure their phone number and email address are updated in our registration system. This ensures our automated alerts reach you instantly whenever a class schedule changes due to severe Chicago weather or studio emergencies. If you ever feel unsure about whether a class is running on a stormy day, you can quickly reach out to us directly for fast confirmation before leaving home.
You can always reach us directly if you have questions about class status, scheduling, or credit updates after a cancellation. Text or call 717-PaSamba (717-727-2622) anytime to get direct assistance from our friendly team. We are always happy to help you check your account balance, confirm make-up dates, or help you plan your next four-week group class block at our Irving Park dance studio.
Visiting our facility is easy and stress-free even during busy times of the week. We offer free parking right near our building at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. at Six Corners. You do not have to worry about finding paid street parking when you come in for your rescheduled class or regular weekly sessions. We work constantly to keep your entire dancing experience convenient from start to finish.
