WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first 60 minutes, beat by beat.
Most first-timer nerves come from not knowing what’s about to happen. So here it is! The whole arc.
01: 10 MIN BEFORE
You arrive
Park, walk in, and we’ll greet you by name. Quick tour: where to put your stuff, where the bathroom is, finding your spot on the floor. No quiz, no pressure.
02: SONG ONE
The warm-up
Lights are low. Bright enough to see yourself in the mirror, dark enough you feel protected. The first song is always a banger and it doubles as the warmup, so you’re easing in and vibing at the same time.
03: THE CLASS
The class
Party lights, music loud, full atmosphere from the moment the beat drops. Follow along, modify, push yourself or just move. Cues are called the entire time so you can hear what’s coming.
04: THE LAST SONG
The cool down
The closing track is part of the experience. The come-down, the breathing, the moment you realize you just did that. Stretch, hydrate and leave better than you came.
BUT WHAT IF…
The real questions, answered.
Every new member thinks these. So we’re just gonna go ahead and say them out loud.
Where do I park?
Cutting Edge Dance Studio is an entire building, and we're in the back studio. The main entrance is at the front of the parking lot. Ours is around the side of the building, three doors down. Park anywhere in that lot. If you get turned around, the Cutting Edge team is super friendly and will point you to us. You can also just follow the loud music coming through our garage door.
What if I walk in alone?
You take a deep breath and open the door. You'll be greeted by friends waiting for you inside and an instructor who saw your name, knows it's your first class, and can't wait to meet you.
Will people stare at me?
They won't. And if you do catch someone's eyes, they're probably admiring something about you that you aren't yet seeing. We're there to hold up that mirror until you do. During class, everyone is watching themselves, watching Kate, and cheering each other on or learning from something someone else is doing. We aren't competing. We're thriving.
Am I supposed to know what to do?
How would you? You've never been before. Everyone is new at some point. Kate has to learn the new choreography too, and practices it before bringing it to class. Bravery isn't not being nervous. It's being nervous and showing up anyway. We've got you.
What if I’m late?
You walk in like you own the room. Life happens. We can't control traffic, parking confusion, or needing a minute to gather courage. But once you open that door, you're in. And you're exactly where you belong.
What if everyone knows each other?
We do, and we can't wait to know you, too. We aren't an exclusive club. Regulars come and make friends, bring energy, connect, and pour into each other with funny stories and updates about our days. You'll be welcomed, and you'll feel like you know us, too.
What happens after class?
The cool down ends, Kate says something cheesy or pseudo-motivational in her Kate way, sometimes clapping happens, sometimes nothing, and then everyone starts gathering their things. Some chat, some leave, some hang out in the office, some dance to whatever song comes on next. Kate will probably come find you to ask about your experience and, if you're into it, give you a sweaty hug. She's a hugger, but she'll respect your boundaries
You are exactly where you belong.
