TWDCC Adult Programs
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with Adult Program policies!
Adult Classes are limited in size, drop-in only, and may be cancelled on short notice. Please call TWDCC at (831) 332-1398 to confirm a class is happening. Plan to arrive early to assure your spot, to fill out the TWDCC Waiver, and so your teacher can start their class on time.
TWDCC abides by the Santa Cruz County, City, Tannery Campus, and TWDCC COVID protocols, whichever is strictest. These protocols include face masks whenever indoors (including studios and bathrooms), class sign-in, temperature checks, and hand sanitizer at the door. Folks not adhering to these policies will be asked to leave the dance floor.
All adult teachers, staff, dancers, drummers, and participants are required to sign a waiver the first time they take a class. After the first time, all participants will be required to sign a sign-in sheet.
Adult classes ask varying amounts for class. Please arrive with cash or be ready to pay via a digital app like Venmo, Paypal, Cashapp, or something similar.
