Trying something new?

IT’S a big deal, WE GET IT!

PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST CLASS

CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT

We use MINDBODY at Hothouse, it’s the place where you’ll manage all your info including class reservations, payment, and rewards.

We recommend subscribing to class email and text notifications, so you’re guaranteed to get alerted about important class updates like cancellations. Marketing emails are good too (promise we rarely spam you); and when we do it’s for things like sales or community events.

CREATE ACCOUNT

BOOK YOUR CLASS

Once you have an account with us, you’ll book your classes through the MINDBODY WEB PORTAL, or download our mobile app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store for the most seamless experience.

Buy single drop-ins, or save a little with our class packs. Our Intro Offer—3 classes for $30—is a great way to try out classes and is available only to brand-new clients with no priori purchases.

And we definitely recommend signing up for our Rewards program. It’s free money — with every class you book, build a rewards balance that can be applied to a purchase when you’d like to redeem.

  • We can definitely help point you in the right direction! Fill out the form below and provide as much detail as you can about your dance experience, your goals, if there are any styles you’re leaning towards, and anything else that will help us find the right class for you!

  • We get this question more than you’d think. A lot of people walk in after years away from dancing. Life happens, but your body doesn’t forget as much as you think. Our classes are full of people at different levels, so you won’t be the only one finding your footing again. Start where you are — you’ll be surprised how quickly it comes back once you’re in the room!

  • You’re not alone. So many people take their very first class here as adults, and nerves are part of the process. Trying something new always feels big — that’s the point. Our teachers and community are here to support you, not judge you. Dance is for everyone, and your only job is to show up as you.

  • Our Intro Offer—3 classes for $30—is available only to clients who have never made a purchase before.

    This pack will appear as a purchasing option when you are registering for your first class. If you do not see it, the system has detected a previous purchase on your account. If you believe this is an error, please fill out the form below. We’ll review your account history and assist you with the purchase!

  • It depends on the class of course, but here are some general recommendations:

    Hip Hop & Jazz Funk
    Sneakers or any supportive footwear you feel good in

    Contemporary/Jazz
    Socks or bare feet

    Heels
    Naturally, heels are the main option. However, we have many people start their heels journey in sneakers. If you’re new to this style, select a shoe with ankle support, a lower rise, and a chunkier heel (vs. a stiletto)

    Broadway
    Socks, jazz shoes, character shoes, heels, sneakers or barefoot

    Ballet
    Socks or ballet shoes

  • Absolutely not. Our classes are for adults of all ages and levels, and you’ll see plenty of different experiences in the room! Listen to your body, move at your own pace, and know you belong here.

  • Are you under 16 years of age? Then, yes, unfortunately! Hothouse is pretty exclusively for adults, but we will allow dancers as young as 16 to take class.

WHAT CAN DANCE OFFER YOU?

  • ♡

    Community. Being with a group of people who share a common purpose. Increased social interaction, finding new friendships, and supporting others all comes with the dance experience.

  • ☯

    Dance lets you pour emotion into movement, release stress, and stretch your creativity in new directions.

  • ☺

    Physical exercise. It’s one of the best ways to boost your mood. Movement sparks dopamine and endorphins, supporting both your body and your mental health.

  • ◎

    Cognitive function, like improved memory, focus and problem solving skills. Dance promotes the building of new neuro pathways, making the brain more adaptable and resilient.

  • ☮

    Cultural understanding and preservation.
    Dance connects us across cultures, generations, and time.

  • ✰

    Experience a sense of achievement. Dance will push you. Witnessing your progress and personal growth can be really fulfilling!
