It’s no thing :) We have classes for beginners, as well as all-levels fitness classes. Check out the schedule and note the class levels under the title.

Certainly. It’s about your personal comfort levels and how you want to be challenged. As long as you have some experience in how a dance class works, you’ll feel comfortable in our intermediate/advanced classes.

We feel you, it can be intimidating to return to the studio. We’ve worked hard to make Hothouse a welcoming, judgment-free space. Our clients range from brand new movers, to experienced professionals. There is no pressure to be a certain way at Hothouse, we’re all just here to have fun and move together. The best advice we can give is — you have nothing to lose by coming to class and giving it a try.

Sessions are community-based gatherings hosted by a Hothouse instructor. Sessions are not a class, they are for freestyle expression and open to all levels. Hothouse offers a variety of Sessions, including Krump, Popping, Hip Hop, Waacking, Litefeet, Vogue, and Womxn’s.

Sorry, kids! Hothouse is a space for adults (we will accept a minimum age of 16). Please note that many of our classes incorporate music with explicit lyrics, and mature movement. We ask that parents kindly respect our age policy, there are very few studios in the Twin Cities for adults to dance. We are dedicated to making this a space with that exclusive purpose.

When you register as a client, you agree to our release waiver that states a photo or video of you could possibly be used in promotional materials. However, we completely respect if you do not want to be featured in videos. Simply tell the videographer you want to stay on the side, and they’ll keep you out of frame.

We do not film every class. As much as we love sharing what’s happening in class, we understand video can be distracting. Typically classes are filmed every few months. Sometimes instructors will bring in videographers more frequently for special occasions.

If class is filmed, class lists will receive a link with the video files. Please keep in mind this is a free service being offered to clients; video coverage is not part of the class fee. We ask that clients kindly respect the amount of time it takes for video to go through a post-production process. Do not contact Hothouse or videographers directly after class.
