Why should I become a DH member?

With our membership, all class rates are discounted from $10 to $5 per class. By joining one of our teams that rate is discounted even further to just $3 per class! All our classes are taught by experienced, talented professionals so you know that you’ll always be learning from the best in our classes. We understand that dance classes can be pricey, and we also know how hard it can be to afford regular classes as a student. That’s why we offer our classes at competitively affordable prices, so that you can learn from the best without breaking the bank for it!

With a DH membership you are also welcome to use our weekly open-drop in studio times. Use all that space to practice some choreo, train with a friend, or just dance to your heart’s content! Additionally, DH members get discounts on classes at dance studios all across Vancouver, including iDance Vancouver, Ballet Lounge, Baza Dance Studio, and many more!

How much does a DH membership cost?

DH membership costs $30 for all UBC students and is valid for the entire school year (September-April)! Remember, we always have Free Week to give you the chance to test out our classes before making the commitment!

Do I need to audition for classes?

Nope, all our classes are open for you to take! Feel free to try something new or challenge yourself in any of our class levels and genres!

How do I join a class?

Simply show up! During our Free Week you are welcome to take any DH class at no cost. This allows you to “shop” around to see which class fits you best, all commitment free! During our Commitment Week, you can commit to attending a class each week in preparation for our show. Please find our Free Week schedule for Term 1 here.

How much is each class?

The drop-in rate for classes is $10 without a membership, but with a membership classes will only cost you $5! Additionally, joining one of our teams drops that rate to just $3/class! (What a deal!)

What are your teams?

We have four teams- DHCo, DHC, DHi and DHCollective. DHCo is our open-level contemporary team. This team is open to beginners and experienced dancers alike and is not audition based. DHC is our open-level hip hop crew. Like DHCo, DHC is also open to beginners and seasoned dancers and is not audition based. Both DHCo and DHC rehearse for 2-3 hours every Saturday. DHi is our audition-based intermediate Hip Hop training team, focused on helping both new and experienced dancers grow in their technique and foundations. Lastly, DHCollective is our audition based contemporary and hip hop performance team. This team consists of two subdivisions, each training in their respective genres while simultaneously collaborating as one team. All our teams are led by students; you can learn more about our teams and captains in the Teams section here!

How do I join a team?

Simply show up! Committing to a team does require purchasing a DH membership, but that means you get to take class for just $3! Joining a team also gives you the great opportunity to meet new people, train with more commitment, and perform with that team in our shows! There’s also no limit to the number of teams you can join, you’re free to join one or join them all!

How do I get involved in DH beyond membership or teams?

Every year, we hire DH Representatives (typically in October) to help out our Executive team with event planning, coordinating, and as show volunteers. These Reps also get to “shadow” roles that our Execs perform to get a better sense of what it takes to make DH run. If you love DH and want to join our team, be on the lookout for updates on our Facebook page!
