What should I bring for food?Light snacks and drinks will be provided, but definitely bring whatever you may like to consume during the breaks. Let us know in advance if you have any allergies.The venue has a cafe on site that is open during the day and into the early evening. For more information on their menu, see: <a href="https://www.dirtbagcafe.ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.dirtbagcafe.ca</a>Do I need to bring a partner?We rotate partners throughout the dance class and the social dancing portion, so we have lots of singles that come out to the events and you do not need to come with a partner. These events are great for both meeting new people as well as a date night.If you do come with a partner, you have the option not to rotate, though we highly recommend that you do to fully take advantage of the social aspect of the event as well as to enhance your learning experience during the dance classes.Can you tell me more about the venue?Boulders Lofts is located on the second floor of Boulders Climbing. The large studio space features over 2,200 sq. ft. of sprung hardwood floors, over 50 ft. of floor to ceiling mirrors on two walls, high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, soft lighting throughout, and natural light from the south facing windows!Free parking is available on site in the designated areas, so please register your vehicle by scanning the QR code once inside the venue.What are the venue's policies?No outdoor shoes inside the studio. Bring a clean pair of indoor shoes (non-marking) to ensure we do not damage the studio's beautiful hardwood floor.All attendees are required to complete the Boulders Waiver Of Liability Agreement which is valid for one year (required for all of our weekend events at this location): <a href="https://app.rockgympro.com/waiver/esign/RockJungleFitness/83a999fa-0f51-460b-9837-cab1e9044f56" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://app.rockgympro.com/waiver/esign/RockJungleFitness/83a999fa-0f51-460b-9837-cab1e9044f56</a>What is your refund policy?No refunds or exchanges, only transfers.
