FAQ for Afro’Robics:

Q1 - If I have registered for an entire series at one community centre and I miss a class, can I make up for that class by attending another one at a different community centre?

Answer - No.  When you sign up for a series at one centre, you are paying that specific centre.  Community centers are independent from each other and revenues for programs are not shared therefore if you want to attend a class at a different centre, you will have to pay a drop-in fee.   


Q 2 – Do you have levels at your classes?

Answer – The classes are meant to reflect some of the values that are important in the African culture.  In a village, we all dance together, men and women, children and parents, grandchildren and grandparents.  We can share the same music and dance steps regardless of each person’s level of experience or fitness.  Therefore the dance has to adapt to the dancer, not the other way around.  In my classes, each person is encouraged to listen to their body and dance according to their own ability or preference.
