Frequently Asked Questions

Find clarity regarding trial bookings, studio etiquette, and our educational policies.

Do I need prior dance experience to join adult beginner classes? +
Not at all. Our adult foundational classes in Ballet, Contemporary, and Urban are specifically calibrated for absolute beginners. We build strength, posture, and musical rhythm from ground zero with zero pressure and complete anatomical care.
What should I wear to my first trial session? +
For your first session, comfortable athletic attire (leggings, yoga pants, fitted t-shirt) is completely fine. For ballet, socks or split-sole slippers are ideal; for contemporary, bare feet or socks; for urban dance, clean indoor athletic sneakers that have not been worn outdoors.
What happens during the trial class placement? +
You will participate in a full 60-90 minute class alongside our current cohort. During the session, the faculty mentor assesses your range of motion, rhythmic coordination, and comfort level, followed by a 10-minute debrief recommending your optimal curriculum level.
What is your cancellation and makeup class policy? +
Bookings can be rescheduled up to 12 hours prior to class start time without penalty via WhatsApp or our student portal. For semester term students, up to two makeup classes are granted per term in parallel discipline slots.
Are there opportunities to perform on real theatre stages? +
Yes. MOTION DANCE AND ARTS LIMITED stages an Annual Winter Conservatory Showcase and a Summer Repertory Recital held in recognized cultural theatre venues in Hong Kong (such as Chai Wan Youth Square and Hong Kong Cultural Centre partner spaces).
