Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I need dance experience or previous hula experience to join?

No previous dance or hula experience is required. The easy hula session is designed for beginners, and we build skill mastery and advancement from class to class.

What age group attends the class?

Dance classes are strictly reserved for people aged 16 and older. Children are not allowed in the dance studio. Please ensure you have adequate assistance and coverage for child-minding as there are no exceptions to this policy.

Do you teach children?

No, at this time NalaniDance is strictly geared towards adult students. People aged 16 and older are allowed to attend and participate in the classes

Do you offer drop-ins?

At this time, drop-ins are not allowed. NalaniDance teaches a full choreography with the students, and we build upon skills learnt in the previous class. Drop-ins are disruptive to everyone as the drop in student(s) require more time and effort from the instructor to get them caught up to the same level as the rest of the class. Please see the section about Private Lessons for more information.

Do you teach private lessons?

Yes, I offer private one on one lessons on a weekly reoccurring basis, or in random, one-offs at the student’s request. Private group lessons are also a possibility; however, a minimum number of students is required to proceed with group lessons. All private sessions are contingent on studio availability. Please note, the refund policy is applicable to private lessons as well.

What do I wear to class?

Students are welcome to wear comfortable workout clothing. If you have a hula pa’u skirt or Tahitian pareo, you are welcome to wear that. We dance in barefeet, but clean, soft-soled shoes or ballet flats are acceptable. Bring a water bottle.

Cancellations

If the hula class is cancelled by NalaniDance for any reason, a refund will be issued less any session fees that may have occurred. Please refer to the Refund FAQ for more information.

Refunds

All purchases are non-refundable, non-transferrable, and cannot be extended. No exceptions.
