$22/hr for Traditional/Ethnic Chinese; $12.5/hr for Jazz/Kpop

​This is the rate for when you sign up for full sessions of a dance (e.g. 4 classes designed to teach one full choreography). Single classes are at slightly higher rates because of operational limitations.

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

Simply let us know which class you are interested in and how many sessions you want to sign up for. Your spot is only confirmed after sending us screenshots of your payment. It is highly appreciated if you put in payment note which class the payment is for.

Students who sign up for full series of a dance are added to the class 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.

A "Series" of classes refers to a set of 4-6 classes that span across 1-2 calendar months to teach one full piece of choreography. The class schedule on this page shows the latest series of classes.

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!
