2. What dance styles do you offer?
We offer both classical and Bollywood dance styles.
- Indian Classical classes we offer are Odissi and  Bharatnatyam. Both classes are segregated as per levels of proficiency in the dance form and not by age. 
- Bollywood classes are offered as per age:: Tiny tots (4-6yrs), Juniors (7-10yrs), Tweens (11-16yrs), Adults (17+yrs)

3. What is all this module talk about?
We have separated our yearly dance class curriculum into four modules - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. This gives us an opportunity to keep rotating dance styles and choreographers to keep it saucy and keep y'all on your toes. It allows flexibility to you to pick and choose the times that work best for you without very long term commitments. Finally, every module has performance opportunities at stages across TN, MS, and AR. 

4. Does this module talk apply to all dance styles?
While all the dance classes we offer runs by modules, classical styles are different since Odissi and Bharatanatyam are taught as per Bharatiya Kalakendra certified curriculum, attending all the modules is pre-requisite to be allowed to appear for the proficiency level examination, held at the end of the year. That being said, you are always welcome to join a module if you would still like to learn but not give the examinations!

5. Will my kids get to perform the dances they learn at any event?
Every module posted will have a 'batch performance opportunity' across TN, MS, and AR. While it is not mandatory to perform either, if you do perform and there are some costumes involved, you will have to pay a small costume rental fee.

6. How do I pay?
We accept cash, check, Paypal (@PayPal.me/danceversify), and Venmo (@Danceversify).
 
7. How much does each module cost?
