Classes are offered in professional dance studio spaces conveniently located in midtown Manhattan around 8th Avenue and 36th Street. Specific studio information would be communicated after class sign-up.

We offer several class packages that allow students to mix and match for the different classes they want to take!

• $30/1hr (or $45/1.5hr): perfect for trying out a new dance!

• $280/10hr

• $490/20hr

• **all packages are valid for one year since the first sign-up

For reference, to learn a full choreography, our classes are typically 4-6 sessions with 1.5hr per session, which totals to 6-9 hours per dance. Saturday morning foundation class is by hour (beginner, intermediate) and ongoing.

You could sign up by contacting us on WeChat or Instagram! Sunshine Manhattan's username is @sunshinedancenyc across platforms.

​

Simply let us know which class you are interested in and which class package you want to purchase. Your payment is only confirmed after sending us screenshots of your payment.

• For WeChat users, we currently leverage mini app "Feitu Yueke 飞兔约课" for sign-ups. Once you are registered and your payment confirmed, you are free to sign up for any class available in the mini app.

• For students on Instagram only, we will create and manage your Feitu mini app account for you. Please inform us at least 3 hours before a class start that you want to sign up, preferably 24hr ahead.

​

At the moment, we take payment in:

• Venmo: @sunshinedancenyc (last 4 digits: 8888)

• Zelle: sunshinedancenyc@gmail.com (Sunshine Dance NYC)

• Paypal: cl.nyc@hotmail.com (Wen Li)

​

Students who have a valid class package are added to members' group chat (on WeChat) for notifications and discussions with other fellow students.

Our class sizes are capped and upon booking, a space is reserved for you. As a small business, we cannot afford to reimburse those who cannot attend the class on short notice. We hope you understand. 

​

Living in NYC is demanding, and plans change all the time. Therefore, in consideration of the city lifestyle and our limited operational capacity, we offer the below policy:

• WeChat students: Feitu mini app allows for sign-up cancellation up to 24hr before class starts. Cancellation before the 24hr will refund hour credit back to your class package. Cancellation within 24hr will not be refunded.

• Instagram students: similarly, credit refund is granted if cancellation is requested 24hr or more before class starts. Cancellation requested within 24hr will not be refunded.

• Package refund: since the package is valid for one year, we strongly encourage you to not ask for frequent refund (and re-sign up later on) if you are away for a few weeks or even a few months. If you truly decide to end your membership, we can refund 70% of remaining package, pro rata (e.g. 5/10 hr left, refund will be 0.7*(5/10)*$280=$98). You will be removed from member group chat and banned from class sign up for 3 months.​

Anything you feel comfortable moving in! 

​

We recommend stretchy clothes and ballet slippers, especially for Chinese dance classes.You could also wear socks or go bare feet for traditional dance classes. No sneakers please aside from K-Pop classes. 

Message us on WeChat or Instagram (@sunshinedancenyc)! 

​

We collect students' interests regularly and set up voting for students to voice out what dances they want to learn. 

Absolutely YES! 

​

All classes at Sunshine Manhattan are "all level" aside from Chinese foundation classes on Saturday morning (check the current class page to see if it's offered). Each class begin with stretching and basic movements training that are relevant to the piece being taught. 

Many of our students only first started dancing after entering adulthood, but with consistent practice, they have made much improvement and gone out to perform at events. Adult dancing classes are fun and casual. You are encouraged to engage and push yourself, but we believe interest and fun are the most important part of your experience!
