Equipment for Yoga, Pilates, Alexander Technique, Swing a Hoop and Cheerleading classes is provided. Some classes may require you to bring additional clothing or footwear, please check at reception or with your teacher. If you would prefer to use your own equipment, please feel free to bring it along with you.

We try to look after our dance floors. Please make sure that you wear clean, indoor footwear for your class. Stilettos are not allowed in the studios.

There is a water fountain in foyer 2 for you to fill up your water bottle and vending machines for drinks and snacks. Water bottles are available for purchase from reception for £2.

We keep lost property for one month. Please ask at reception or call 0131 225 5525 if you believe you have lost an item. Please note that Dance Base cannot take responsibility for any articles lost or stolen.

The main changing facilities are just off foyer 2. They include toilets, showers, mirrors and lockers. There are also smaller changing facilities next to studio 2 which require a code to enter which you can get from reception. Please remember to sign in with your Dance Card before getting changed.
There are lockers available in all of the changing rooms. There are also additional lockers available on the way into the changing rooms and outside studio 4. Lockers require a £1 coin, please ask at reception if you need some change.
If you only have a coat with you there are rails to hang it up in each studio so you don’t need to use a locker.
If you are not enjoying your course or need to cancel it, let us know during the first two weeks of term. We can try to swap you into another course (if there’s space) or issue you with course or drop-in credit for the remaining classes (minus a £5 admin fee). Ask to speak to the manager on duty.

You will be given a Dance Card which contains details of your course. Please show your Dance Card at reception each time before you go to your class so that we know that you are in the building.

Your Dance Card can also be used for drop-in classes. If you are eligible for any concessions, this information will be stored on your card. You can add credit to your card to pay for drop-in classes online or in person. If you add £35 or more you get 10% extra for free.

We have sofas, vending machines and free Wi-Fi for you to enjoy of if you arrive early for your class or if you are waiting for someone.
Please do not use the rails in the pend to secure your bike as this is a fire exit and needs to be kept clear. There are bike racks across from the building in the Grassmarket.
