Our bi-monthly workshops are geared toward the adult dance community, specifically targeted to mature individuals aged 16+!

Yes! 

We have a snacks table available for all our dancers to partake in throughout our workshops.

During our "Community Dance & Mingle" at the end of our workshops, we also provide desserts and non-alcoholic beverages to all attendees!

We suggest you arrive to your class(es) at GDAC at least 10 minutes before it starts.

This gives you enough time to sign in at our check-in table, receive your name tag, and find a spot on the dance floor!

Our "pay what you can" model allows us to provide financially accessible dance to adult dancers in Ottawa. The MINIMUM payment of $8 per class is in place at ALL of our workshops so we can continue running. If you're able to give more than the $8 minimum, we encourage and appreciate the help making dance more widely accessible and inclusive to all!

Yes! 

Limited parking spots are available at the NCAC venue.

We encourage car-pooling and using public transportation when possible so that there are more spots available for those who need them!

No.

We will only be allowing pre-paid dancer attendees to enter the studio spaces that are booked for this event, due to limited space in the venue. 

We will be opening an Instructors Application form in May 2026 for our July workshop (Workshop #4):

You will need to send us the following when this form opens:

- Dancer Resume/Portfolio

- A short 30-50 second video (preferred) or voice memo of why you want to instruct a class with GDAC!

- A response on if/how you understand our mission of accessibility and inclusive dance!

+ more

We will be opening the check-in and our merch table at 11:00 AM on May 24th at the NCAC.

You can sign-in to any of your classes 30 minutes before the class starts. However, we suggest arriving 10 minutes prior.

Wear anything you're comfortable in!

If you can dance in it... then you can wear it!

We suggest wearing more flexible materials and bringing proper dance shoes if you can, but you can wear whatever you feel like wearing!

**if you're in Jenns heels class, it has a floorwork focus, so please wear baggier/padded pants or kneepads**

Check out the "Merchandise" page on our website for all the info about the upcoming workshop on May 24th for pre-orders, etc.

We have a variety of merchandise coming for Workshop #3 at the NCAC on May 24th... Stay tuned!

You have 72 hours after you receive a registration confirmation email to pay the total amount detailed in the email (at minimum).

Make sure you send your e-transfer to the correct email sent to you from our team! Double, triple check!!

That's okay! Don't stress.

Just let us know in your reply to our confirmation email that you're unable to pay the online e-transfer and we can chat about a more accessible way for you to pay for your class spots! :)

No. When classes fill up they will close. 

When one of our workshop classes is full, we will close the class in the registration form and announce it on social media. 

If for some reason an attendee can't make the workshop, we will inform everyone via Instagram and update the registration form immediately so that the class has spots open again temporarily!

Yes.

The photos will be sent to every attendee from the May 24th workshop as soon as Les Escobar has completed uploading and editing each photograph!
