F.A.Q’s:
What to wear?
Wear whatever you are comfortable with and can move in. Occasionally, we will use props/items such as gloves, but there is no pressure to have these. Your fabulous self will always be enough! Heels are optional! Please no jeans.
We have a whatsapp community where this information will be posted in. Please contact us on hq@houseofallure.co.uk to be added to the group.
Do I need to have danced before? I am a total beginner!
If you claim you have two left feet, that is absolutely fine! These classes are suitable for any level. No dance experience is necessary. Classes will create challenges and enjoyment for all levels. We can always suggest alternative movements if there are any concerns! It is always a good laugh and we are all in the same boat together!
Will I fit in?
We often get questions asking if someone is too old? Too queer? Is the class okay for moms? I identify as male? I am neurodiverse? I am exploring my gender? I have anxiety?
The answer is we want you! We absolutely celebrate these parts of you in a supportive atmosphere. Everyone has different backstories, but we are committed to you stepping into your power! Please do feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or need any adjustments made. We want you to feel as welcomed as possible!
Photography & Videography:
Occasionally, during class we will get photos and/or videos. These will be shared into the whatsapp community for anyone that may wish to practice. On occasion these will be use for social media, but there is opportunity to step out of any videos/photos if you do not wish to be in them.
