Is there parking available?
Yes, parking is not a problem. We have our own parking area right in front of the studio. In the case of busy nights, street parking is also accessible.
What do I bring to class?
Although we sell cold water at the studio, it is ideal to bring your own water bottle. We also recommend our students to bring a towel.
What is the class procedure/structure?
First of all please arrive 10-15 minutes before your class starts to allow yourself time to prepare for your class, each and everyone must sign in at our admin table including 'Class and Term Pass' holders.
Our classes normally start with a warm up, a choreography is then taught and broken down into smaller sections and the routine is performed by everyone. Lastly, if time allows a nice warm down at the end of each class.

* Hip-Hop (from New School to New Jack to Fusion Style such as Lyrical), Popping, Locking, Breakdance, Krump, Baile' Funk (Latin Fusion Styles) & Hip-Hop Burlesque.
How much? 1 hour private lessons costs can vary on the level of dance instructors booked. Our most experienced choreographers usually range from $60-$100 per hour.
I want to be in a performance group, what are the steps?
We normally hold auditions at the end and at the start of every year. However if you think you've got what it takes to be in a performance group, we are always excited to see fresh talents no matter what time of the year it is. Just contact our Director Errol Cenita on 0437371110 or email e@freshelements.com.au as you never know when an opening could become available.
I heard that FEDS offer Scholarships, how can I apply for this?

I'm a professional dancer, which class would best suit me?
Check out our 'Intermediate to Advanced' dance classes. Specialized styles such as Krump , Break, Poppin & Locking are also highly recommended even though some of these classes are only beginner to intermediate level.
Can I start attending class right away or do I have to wait for next term?
Most definitely, all of our casual classes are taught with a brand new outine every week. Occassionally an instructor/choreographer will teach a routine that could go for 2 weeks, so when this happens it is handy to have attended the previous week as it acts as a continuation class the following week, but this happens very rarely.
The only other time that our dance instructors will go over previously learned choreography is during concert times. This happens at the very end of the year and sometimes at the end of a term. We normally give a lot of notice on our noticeboards, hand-outs and our website when this is happening so the public are aware of the class situation.
