Frequently asked questions
General
What is Dance-Masterclass?
Dance Masterclass is an online dance training platform that allows anyone to learn from the best dancers and choreographers in the world.
Each Dance Masterclass teaches a specific, in-demand topic to improve your dance skills.
For example, "PIROUETTES" is taught by Daniil Simkin, one of the best in the world when it comes to turns. The "FLEXIBILITY" class is taught by Anna Ol, who has managed over many years to increase her flexibility and extensions and become a world star ballerina.
These world-renowned masters share their vital knowledge and personal experience in each lesson, along with helpful exercises and practical advice.
The structure and content of the masterclasses are developed together with the masters, professional dance experts and sports physicians to achieve healthy and efficient learning for all skill levels.
Who is this for?
All Dance Masterclass films offer educational and inspirational content for everyone.
However, we consider the content particularly relevant for 3 groups of people:
DANCE STUDENTS - From beginner to advanced, all classes are created in such a way that it has a great learning impact for all skill levels.
PROFESSIONAL DANCERS - The world leading professional dancers give personal advice and tips for young professionals to help them bring out their best and make it to the top.
TEACHERS - The content of the classes is designed to have an educational impact. The lessons are thought out in a didactic way and are already used by many teachers and schools on our platform to pass on this vital knowledge to their students. We have a special offer for people from schools and educational institutions. See here.
What is included in the membership?
Once you have subscribed you will have:
- Unlimited access to all Dance Masterclasses
- All new classes as they launch
- All instructor guides (complete workbooks for each class)
- Full access to the Dance Masterclass App (iOS & Android)
- Offline viewing in the App (unlimited downloads)
Where can I watch?
You can sign in on any device, phone, tablet, laptop or PC and watch the classes at your own convenience, anytime, from anywhere in the world.
You can even watch all films offline (downloadable) with the app (iOS & Android).
Can I do these classes at home?
Our classes are very diverse and suitable for all kinds of locations. For example, the "FLEXIBILITY" class is very suitable for home (simple exercises that you can do regularly at home).
Other classes are better suited in a dance studio (“JUMPS” for example).
However, we always recommend that you watch the Dance Masterclasses at home first, as the content is very packed and it’s best to understand all the information and tips first so that you can apply them to your next training session.
Are the classes “live”?
The classes are recorded videos (not live) so you can watch at your own convenience and pace. You are welcome to simply watch the classes and be inspired to learn. But if you want to actively follow along with a class to do exercises, you can easily do so. Our app (iOS & Android) for on-the-go and in-the-dance-studio learning is very useful for this.
