I want to come, but I can't be there for all of the classes.  What are my options?

​We have several options for you!  Choose the options that work best for your schedule. You can also combine options.

​

1.  All Access:  $510 per student
Choose from the Intermediate or Advanced level and get full access to any and all activities throughout the festival! If you plan to participate in the residency program or any of our blast class options (42nd Street or Moses Supposes), we recommend the All Access Pass. Advanced All Access Pass students can choose between participation in our new Drum Shoes Residency, or starting each day with warm-up & technique class.

 

2.  One Day Access:  $175 per student

1 Day Access gets you into all classes and activities for the day of your choosing.  Keep in mind our blast class options (42nd Street or Moses Supposes), require you to be present on Saturday in order to be eligible to participate in that same class on Sunday.

​

3.  Drum Shoes Residency Only:  $160 per student

Students in the Advanced Residency must register for and be in attendance during all 3 days of the residency.

​

4.  Junior Pass:  $70
Junior Pass gets you into both of our new Junior level classes.  Save $10!

5.  Per Class & Class Observation: $40 per class
Choose from any of the classes in blue on the festival schedule. You'll make your class selections on your registration form. 
 

​

What if I want to do the All Access Advanced Pass, but I don't want to participate in the Drum Shoes Residency?

​

There is an option on your registration form to choose either "All Access (w/ Residency)" or our standard "All Access Pass."  This means that you'll start each day with our Warm up & Technique Class instead. ​

​

​

​How do I know what level is best for me?

​

The level and pace of each class will be determined by each of our guest instructors.  Every teaching artist defines these levels differently.  However, we have made some recommendations below to help guide you when making your choice.

​

Junior:  We recommend this level for students with at least 2 or more years of consistent, weekly tap dance training, between the approximate ages of 8-12.

​

Intermediate:  In general, we recommend that a student registering for the intermediate level has had at least 5 years of consistent, weekly tap dance training.

​

Advanced:  In general, we recommend that a student registering for the advanced level has had at least 10 or more years of consistent, weekly tap dance training.  The classwork in this level will be intended for students in their late teens through advanced professional adults. 

​

* If after your first class of the day, you feel overwhelmed or that you could be challenged more, come speak with our staff.  As long there is space availability, we may allow you to switch your level.  Once you switch levels, you must stay in that level for the remainder of the classes for which you are registered.

Our faculty and staff may also make level recommendations after they've seen you in class. 

​

​

Is there an age requirement for festival classes?

​

There is no age minimum or maximum for STL Rhythm Fest classes.  However, we ask that you refer to the previous question and consider our level recommendations based on the amount of previous training you have had.  

​

Adults are welcome and often attend our Intermediate & Advanced level classes.  However, if you prefer to be in a class of only adults, we suggest you refer to our activity schedule for those new options, which will take place on Saturday, August 2, this year. 

​

​

Can anyone come to the Festival Kickoff Jam, Lunch Time Trivia, or Lunch & Learn Panel Discussion?

​

YES!  All of these events are free and open to the public.  You don't need to register.  Just come!

All ages are welcome.  These are a great way to meet others who love these art forms and learn more about ways you can become part of our growing community.  Feel free to participate or join us as an audience member.  All free events are listed in GREEN on the activity schedule.
