Monday Online Dance Classes FAQs:
How Do I Join Facebook Live-Streaming Classes?
Jennifer will be live-streaming all of our Monday night classes at the regular scheduled time and day in a private Facebook group. Only the dancers who are part of the session will see the content and any comments or other things you share, so, it’s truly private in that regard. Once you purchase a class send Jennifer a friend request on FB. She’s under her full name: Jennifer Secrist Goran. If you use a different name on FB than you did for your class purchase, just let her know it’s you. She’ll send you an invite to join our private group. From there it’s easy: simply go to our group about 5 minutes before class start time and wait for the live stream class to start. From there you can comment or ask questions directly in the live streaming video or separately in the group discussion section.
What If I Miss A Class?
No worries at all! You can go to the group and view the class online in your group any time during the session!
What If I’m Not On Facebook?
It is free and easy to set up an account on Facebook. If you don’t want to set up a Facebook account, you could try hopping on using a family member or friend’s account. Or perhaps our Thursday night classes may be a better option if you if you prefer not to use Facebook at all. You can always sign up for the Monday Facebook classes and if for any reason you decide you’d prefer to switch over to Thursday nights and dance with us on zoom instead that can be arranged for the remainder of the session.
No Drop In Classes On Mondays?
With the way the Monday live streaming classes are set up, there is no need to worry about missing a class due to travel, work, childcare or health. These streaming classes will be available for you throughout the full length of session and you can watch them at your leisure. Because you will automatically get access to the full session there will not be drop in options for online classes, but, you can join the session now without fear of missing out on a single class.
What Are The Perks Of Facebook Live-Streaming Classes:
- Join classes live or watch them later in the session
- Interact with the instructor and classmates by commenting on the video
- Watch the classes multiple times
- Ask general questions in the group page outside of class time (instructor response time will vary)

Thursday Online Dance Classes FAQs:
How Do I Join A Class Using Zoom?
Zoom is a free app that works on phones, computers and tablets alike. When you purchase a class I will email you a website link and a password to join us. If you don’t have the app installed you will be prompted to allow it to be installed (it’s quick and doesn’t take up much space on a device). Go to the link about 5-10 minutes before class and type in your password. You’ll be in a ‘waiting room’ until I admit you to join our classes (this helps keep uninvited guests out). Once you are part of the class you can choose to have your camera and microphone on or off. You can pin the instructor so that this is the main screen you see during class.
What If I Miss A Class?
Alas, these classes are not recorded, so, you will want to attend the classes as they happen, just as you would a live class. If you are concerned about being able to make a class I suggest signing up for Monday night’s classes on Facebook instead as you will have access to to past classes, so, it won’t matter if you miss a live class.
What Are The Perks Of Zoom Classes:
- Join classes live
- Larger variety of music used during class
- Ability to be the lead dancer in level 2, 3 and 4 classes
- Interact with the instructor and classmates by simply speaking into your mic (or typing your question in the chat section if you prefer)
- Optionally allow the group to see you on screen to ask questions, show movement questions, etc

Thursday Night Classes Via Zoom:
Single drop in class purchases are good for 1 time use during the week purchased. Once you purchase a drop in class we will email you this week’s Zoom link and password to join us in our online class. Please plan to register no later than 5pm on any given Thursday if you plan to join us that same night.. we need a little time to get your registration and email a link and password to you

General Online Dance Class Questions:
When Will Live Classes Resume?
We’ve been able to keep up our dance skills as a group quite well with our online format and that is definitely a testament to the dedication and great attitude of everyone participating. And although we love the interplay with our fellow dancers when we are live and in person we need to balance this with the safety of everyone involved. The CDC released a research letter about recent cardio dance classes being related to a large cluster of new covid cases in S. Korea. Due to this new info Jennifer has decided to run at least one more session online.
What If The Teacher Gets Sick?
As during normal live class offerings, should the instructor get sick and be unable to teach a class you will have a credit for the missed class(es) in the following session, if no substitute teacher is available that night.
What If I’m Not Sure If I’ll Like Online Classes?
Online dance classes are new to many people so you may not know what to expect. Currently our students are thoroughly enjoying the online classes, but, if you find after taking a couple classes that you’d prefer to wait until live classes resume, we’d be happy to set you up with a credit for any remaining online classes towards live classes in the future. Just let us know asap.. any unattended classes remaining in the session will credited towards live classes.
