Question 1

Do I need a partner to register?

Accepted Answer

No, all are welcome solo.

Question 2

Can I drop in or attend only some classes?

Accepted Answer

This is a progressive 4-class series, meaning each session builds on the last. Drop-ins are not available. Full series enrollment is required to register.

Question 3

What should I wear and bring?

Accepted Answer

Wear something comfortable that you can move in. For shoes, smooth-soled or low-heel dance shoes work great, but clean sneakers are totally fine. Avoid shoes with heavy rubber soles or thick treads — they can make it harder to turn and pivot.
Please bring your own water bottle.

Question 4

Is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Street parking is available on Shattuck Ave. and surrounding streets. We're also a short walk from Ashby BART, making us easy to reach by transit.

Question 5

Where exactly is the class held inside La Peña?

Accepted Answer

Class takes place in La Peña's theater, our main performance and gathering space at 3105 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA.

Question 6

I'm having trouble registering — who do I contact?

Accepted Answer

Reach out to us at classes@Lapena.org and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Question 7

Is the space wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes — step-less entry, wide doorways, accessible and all-gender restrooms, and HEPA air purifiers throughout. Masks strongly encouraged. For specific accessibility needs, email classes@Lapena.org at least one week before class.

Question 8

Are refunds available?
