Start Here

Not at all. Absolute beginners are our favourite people. Start with our Level 0 Absolute Beginner classes, which are designed for people who have never taken a dance class before. No experience required.

Registration opens one week before each class, on our app or website. Sign up early to guarantee your spot, since classes are first come, first served. If there’s still space, you can also sign up at the front desk right before class.

Every class stands on its own: a warm-up, then steps, grooves, or technique, then choreography. Each choreography class teaches a brand-new combo, so you can drop in any week without worrying about catching up. Come once a week or every day. It’s up to you.

Every one of our classes works as a trial. Trial classes exist at term-based studios, where signing up means committing to a whole semester. Our classes are drop-in, so you can try a single class any time with no commitment. Grab a drop-in class or an intro offer, pick a class at your level, and come dance. If you’d like to chat with us first, book a free info session.

Please do, dancing is better with company. And it pays: bring a friend who is new to House of Eights (or has not visited in over 6 months) and you BOTH earn a $10 account credit through our referral program. Just let the front desk know when you come in together.

Comfortable, breathable clothing you can move in, with optional layers for warm-up. Bring a refillable water bottle, and a small sweat towel if you like. Footwear depends on the class:

Sock classes (Contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theatre): socks, half soles, or bare feet.

Sneaker classes (Afro Fusion, Fusion, Hip Hop, Jazz Funk, K-Pop, Latin Fusion, Reggaeton, Waacking): clean, indoor sneakers.

Heels classes: 3–5 inch heels with strong ankle support, open- or closed-toed (stilettos preferred). Indoor sneakers, socks, or bare feet work too. Kneepads optional, just in case.

Tap classes: metal-tipped tap shoes, or indoor sneakers, socks, or bare feet.

Outdoor shoes aren’t allowed inside the studio. We have change rooms and washrooms on site.

Classes are for adults 18+ and teens 14+ with parental consent. Select mature classes, like Heels and Reggaeton, are 18+ only. Youth drop-ins are for ages 8–13.

After your intro offer, you can buy single classes, class packs, or a monthly membership. Memberships include discounts on classes, workshops, merch, and rentals. See our pricing page for current options.

Life happens! If you cancel more than 2 hours before class starts, the session goes right back on your account to use another time. If you cancel within 2 hours of the class start time, it counts as a late cancellation and that session is deducted from your account.

That almost always means your date of birth is missing from your profile. It’s the only pre-requisite we enforce, since select classes are 18+. Add your date of birth to your profile, refresh, and try booking again. Still stuck? Reach out and we’ll sort it out.

Class videos are uploaded to our private video cloud shortly after class. Download yours in our app or through the class videos portal. The password renews on the 1st of every month. You’ll find it on the whiteboard in the studio hallway, or ask the front desk, or send us a DM or email.
