How Does The Makeup Policy Work For Missed Classes At Dennis PaSamba Dance Company?
Missing a class does not mean you lose out on your learning journey. At Dennis PaSamba Dance Company, we understand that work emergencies, illness, and family events come up unexpectedly. Our goal is to make sure you get the full value of your instruction whenever possible. To request a makeup class, you simply need to contact us ahead of time so we can check the schedule. Texting 717-PaSamba is the fastest way to let us know that you will be absent.
Advance notice is the key requirement for using our makeup policy. If you know you will miss an upcoming class, please give us as much notice as possible. When you inform us before your scheduled class starts, we can reserve a spot for you in a makeup session. Unexcused absences or last-minute no-shows without advance notice may not be eligible for a makeup class. This rule helps us keep class sizes balanced for all students.
Makeup options depend on our current group class schedule and studio availability. Usually, you can attend another group class of a similar style and level within the same monthly session. Whether you are taking salsa, bachata, or another partner dance style, we will look for an open class that fits your schedule. Just send a quick text to 717-PaSamba, and our team will help you find an available day and time that works.
Please keep in mind that makeup classes must be completed within the current session term. We cannot roll unused makeup credits over into future months or different enrollment periods. This policy helps maintain consistent progress for all students in every class level. Staying within the active session ensures you practice your dance steps while the material is still fresh in your mind. Reach out to us directly if you have questions about your session end date.
Private lesson makeup policies operate with a slightly different notice window. Because private lessons reserve dedicated instructor time just for you, we require notice at least twenty-four hours in advance to reschedule without losing the lesson. If you cancel with enough time, we will happily move your private session to another open slot. Texting 717-PaSamba is the quickest way to coordinate schedule changes with your instructor.
Our dance studio is located at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. in Chicago, Illinois.

You will review fundamental footwork, partner work, and timing in a welcoming environment. To double-check available times for your makeup session, reach out by text or call 717-PaSamba today.
