How to Book: In-Person Classes
To book a space in one of our studio classes, visit our EventBrite page. You must present a valid ticket to be admitted to class. Payment for classes will be either in person, or through PayPal NOT through the EventBrite page. Please ensure you have secured a booking on EventBrite before submitting any payment to the CUBC. Bookings for improvers, intermediate, inter-advanced, advanced, and pointe will open on Sundays at 15:00 each week. We expect places will be limited, so please be respectful of others and don’t monopolize slots. Please read our CUBC Covid-19 Community Guidelines before attending class.
Beginner Courses:
Bookings for beginner sessions will only be accepted at the start of term. Registration for beginner classes will open on Thurs 8th Oct at 17:00. To register for a session, book a ticket for your session of choice on the EventBrite page. This EventBrite ticket will gain you admission to all of the classes in that session for the entire term. However, you can pay for each class individually. Our beginner classes are in high demand, so please only register if you are committed to attending the classes each week, and let us know if you are no longer able to participate. Please read our CUBC Covid-19 Community Guidelines before attending class.
All bookings are subject to change, as may be required by the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.

Online Classes: Tips, tricks, and disclaimer
For virtual classes, you are responsible for your own personal risk assessment.
Each person taking part should assess the activity and decide if it is suitable for them, with regards to their ability, fitness, and personal surroundings.
- You are required to perform your own risk assessment of your dancing space. Consider:
- Are your floors safe for dancing?
- Use caution on slippery floors
- Repeated jumping on hard floors can cause pain in the shins and knees
- Is your barre secure?
- Is the area around you clear?
- Be mindful of furniture, walls, uneven flooring, and housemates
- If necessary, how will you acquire medical assistance?
- Are your floors safe for dancing?
- Only perform steps you are comfortable with
- Don’t do a step at home if you wouldn’t do it in the studio.
- Do not do pointe at home if you are a beginner or if your floors are not suitable
- You can adapt steps to your level!
- Example: If you’re not comfortable turning, you can do a balance instead. If you’re not comfortable doing a step on demi-pointe, you can do it on flat. Ask your teacher for suggestions or alternate steps.
- Due to safety concerns there will be NO VIRTUAL BEGINNER POINTE CLASSES. Do not do pointe at home if you do not have any experience en pointe.
- If you have slick floors, consider purchasing a home practice mat like this one: https://www.danceandstage.co.uk/home-practice-dance-mats
- If you have space, you could also consider purchasing a home barre, like this one: https://www.newitts.com/beemat-studio-ballet-barre
- Mute yourself during class
- Click on “Speaker View” to enlarge the teacher’s window and/or "Pin" the teacher's video.
