All of our dance classes and all of our communication is strictly in English to keep our community inclusive for everyone.
Anyone who is a current student or was in the last 5 years of either Tilburg University, Fontys or Avans is eligible for a Tilburg University Sports Center Membership which is what you need to join our dance classes.
Unfortunately no. Unless you are a current student of one of these 3 or were at least within the last 5 years (so you graduated less than 5 years ago from one of the 3) you are not eligible to be a Tilburg University Sports Center member and thus cannot join our classes.
HOWEVER, if you want to join a demo team but you are not eligible for a regular Tilburg University Sports Center membership, you can contact our Chair at voorzitter.tsdvdancenation@gmail.com because there are a few special measures that can be taken for demo team members.
To sign up to our dance classes you need a Tilburg University Sports Center Membership. Once you have this you need to get the Tilburg University Sports Center App and log in with your university details, you can also buy the membership directly on the app. Once you are in you can sign up to dance classes by selecting the category “Dance” and the locations “Tilburg University Sports Center” and “Tilburg University”. Then you can choose any class you would like! Remember to scan the QR code in the room of the dance class at the beginning of the lesson so you don’t get fined. You can sign up to dance classes up to 7 days ahead.
Of course! We have several beginner classes that are made for people who have never danced before.
Absolutely not. Of course this is encouraged to improve your skills and master your chosen dance style but we have a very flexible system where it is not at all mandatory to go every week since everyone’s schedule is different so we understand that things may happen. Additionally you do not need to stick to the same class every week either, you can switch around and try all the classes and styles you want!
Of course! You can take as many dance classes and styles you would like! Just remember to sign up on the app for the class and to scan the QR code in the dance room at the beginning of the class to avoid getting a fine. The only limit you may encounter when signing up is that you cannot sign up to two things that occur at the same time of course.
Our dance classes all take place either at the Tilburg University Sports Center or at the Tilburg University campus in the Esplanade Building.
At the Sports Center the dance classes take place in the Dancehall which is located infront of the registration desk on the left side of the gates where the toilets are located. Please see the sign above the gates or ask the registration desk for help if you cannot find it.
At the Tilburg University campus the dance classes take place in the Esplanade Building right at the entrance of the building in the Ballet Hall. Please see the neon sign once you enter through the automatic doors on the wall.
Most of our classes have a limit of 18 people but some have a limit of 20 people. This is so everyone has enough space to freely move around so that even at max capacity everyone can still see the teacher and move freely.
That is no problem! You can deregister max 1 hour before the dance class with no consequences at all. To cancel your booking go on the Sports Center app and go to “My Booking” and click the class you want to cancel, then click “Cancel Booking” at the bottom.
IMPORTANT! Keep in mind that you cannot cancel less than an hour before and you will get a fine if you don’t cancel so make sure to cancel in time! The fine will not allow you to use the app until you have paid so you won’t be able to sign up to classes and scan QR codes until you pay. This is so that other people can take your spot and you don’t occupy open spots without attending.
Yes it does! We work with a fixed dance class schedule throughout the entire year. In the case that the schedule changes for any reason, the schedule will be immediately updated on our Instagram (@tsdvdancenation), on this website and on the Tilburg University Sports Center app.
This slot is dedicated to our monthly workshop open to only our DanceNation members. Thus you can’t attend if you only have the Sports Center membership, you need our DanceNation membership on top. To get our membership go here!
Absolutely! The beauty of training with us is that on top of our dance classes you can also book the dance rooms to practice dance and choreographies from your favourite classes, improve your technique or practice anything you’d like, either by yourself or with friends (who also need to have a Sports membership).
You can book by selecting the category “Reservation Sports Facilities Indoor” and locations ‘Tilburg University Sports Center” and “Tilburg University” and choose any location you would like. We recommend the Dancehall, Ballet Hall Esplanade (these are our two dance class locations and they contain mirrors) or the Boxing Hall or Sports Hall 2A (not 2B) which also both have mirrors.
