FAQ's

Students who register online will start receiving emails from their dance teacher once classes have begun. Check your email to ensure you received a confirmation that your registration for Masti dance classes was successfully sent. If you did not get an automated email confirming your enrollment into our program, please email our registration director, Madhu [email protected]

If your dance class is beginning soon, you should come to class at its scheduled time. We would be happy to welcome you and take care of the email problem right away.

If you need to speak with someone directly, please call us at 469-939-9550. We will do everything we can to make sure you have your questions answered in a timely manner.

If the class you would like to enroll in is full, please register for the waitlist. This will put you in line to be notified if space becomes available in the class. When a spot in the class becomes available we will contact you and confirm that you are still interested. You will not be charged tuition until a spot for your dancer is guaranteed.

All dancers are encouraged to participate, but recital participation is not required. All recital fees will be communicated prior to being charged. Because of this, Families will need to opt out of Recital before fees are charged. Dancers that choose not to participate will still be able to participate fully in their class and will still learn the recital dance. Any dancer that joins after this time will still be allowed to participate in recital, pending costume availability and may be subject to added fees.

Yes! We offer a no obligation free trial week. What that means is you can come and try as many classes as you want in a week, but when you sign up you do pay for the class you attended and are signing up for. ! We highly encourage you to try a variety of classes at our studios to find the one that is perfect for you. Masti has classes in many styles of dance – Bollywood, Indo-Contemporary, Hip-Hip, Semi-Classical, Bhangra, and even Bollywood Fitness. If you don’t know which class is right for you, try out as many as you can! Our students frequently find a new favorite class by trying something new each year.

We aim to complete a pre-determined set of choreography within a given session. Sometimes, this means that students learn one medley of four songs depending on the students’ ability to pick up. Our goal is to teach dance technique rather than number of songs, so we like to make sure students are comfortable with choreography before moving on. If you have specific questions regarding your class, please feel free to speak with your Madhu, Masti Director.

We are a primarily recreational dance school, however we do help students get ready for competition, if they show ability in class and parents want additional private lessons to help them get ready for competitions. Reach out to [email protected] for more details.

Masti offers Indian dance classes at 3 studio locations in Dallas Metroplex Aria. Our Dallas locations are: Two Plano locations, and one Frisco Locations. Due to Covid, classes have transitioned to be virtual over a Zoom call. We now offer In-person clases at Richwoods Academy in Frisco, Hathaway Academy of Ballet in Plano, KJ Dance in Frisco and Plano. We are expanding into the Coppell Area as well.

Yes! Our classes are in full session throughout the year with the exception of major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Independence Day, etc.) Our classes are broken down into 2 18-week sessions and a short summer session 6 weeks long.

Session 1 – September – February 18 weeks long session $320 fees for inperson and $200 for online

We are always accepting students into our classes as long as there is room! We have a “priority registration” period before each session begins where students can ensure they have a spot in class and also get an early bird discount on tuition. We normally do not turn down any new student who wants to join, so don’t hesitate to contact us when you are ready!

Yes! We don’t turn any students down, and we are always enrolling students into ALL studio locations. We will do our best to catch you up during class to ensure you know what you need to know. If you want to schedule private classes, we can arrange that with your instructor based on availability. Email [email protected] if you feel you need to schedule a private session.

All of our instructors are highly trained, maintain the utmost level of professionalism, and have been hand-selected. We keep our staff small to maintain quality. We also conduct reviews of our instructors at the end of each session, so we are always aware of what students and parents think of our teachers. We post their bio/resume on our Facebook Page

While not mandatory, we encourage our students to wear Masti t-shirts to class with sweatpants, track pants, or leggings. It creates a sense of unity in the room. You receive Masti Tshirts when you register for classes. Most importantly, please dress comfortably (sweats, tights, t-shirt, etc.). We do not allow jeans, dresses, or any movement-restrictive clothing.

If you are not sure which class to take, call us. Typically, we recommend that students take the class that corresponds to their age. We never hold students back and want to make sure they feel comfortable in any class they are in. Sometimes we move students into an older age group class, if we offer that, and if they are exceptional and need to be challenged, but that is very rare and not necessarily best for their social development.

Not a problem! Many of the students are absolute beginners. Our goal is to make you into a confident dancer. That’s what our classes are for! Don’t hesitate to come visit our classes so you can see how we teach.

We are always adding classes depending on the instructor and studio availability. If you do not see something that fits into your schedule, call or email us and we’ll try our best to set something up. We would be happy to put together a new class with a minimum enrollment of 6 dancers.

Yes, there is an one time registration fee of $20/family. This will cover you for until you are active in our system.

This maximum number of students in each class depends on the age group and level of class and current pandemic situation. Some of our classes have a max of 12 students, while some others may have up to 16 students. We usually do not have any class with more than 16 students so we can maintain quality and give each student attention. Most of our classes also have two instructors each: Lead instructor and Assistant Instructor. It helps to have an extra set of hands with large class sizes.

You can certainly come watch a class before you register, but we recommend actually taking free trial classes. Since dance is very interactive, you will only know if you like the class if you come in and try it out!

Yes! We participate in two major events: India day, organized by Indian Association of North Texas around the end of January, beginning of February. We also have our Masti Recital scheduled at the beginning of May. All our students and crew dancers perform at the show. In addition to that, we perform at community events and competitions throughout the year. We do not require all students to perform at all the shows, but we have not had students who miss the opportunity to perform at our annual showcase. However, we are navigating current landscape and holding off on doing a lot of community events.

Classes missed will not be made up, except those cancelled by the academy.

Fees will not be pro-rated or credited. If we offer classes at other locations for the same age group, we would be happy to schedule a makeup class. Our instructors strive their best to catch up dancers with missed choreography within class. We also send home class recordings and short video practices for students to catch up on their own. The best thing to do is talk to your Director and see what can be done. Masti does not guarantee any make-up classes to students who miss them. We do have online classes they can participate in, if you are travelling and can be offered as makeup. Please contact the director for makeup lessons (if offered for that age group)

We have a number of dance classes you can try. Our classes vary in styles taught, as our goal is to make each student as versatile as possible. On our schedule by location, each class has a specific title. Most classes are Bollywood, and since Bollywood is such a dynamic genre, students will learn many new techniques depending on the song being taught in class. You can expect influences of Indian folk, contemporary, classical, and hip-hop in class.

Currently we are offering only Sunday classes, but as we ease in and if we offer more classes, yes we would love our dancers to take more than one class. Many of our students take classes at more than one location to give them variety. We like to tailor your experience at Masti based on your goals. You can call and speak with our Director about which classes to take.
