    • You are actively training with the consistency required and intention of pursuing a career as a professional dancer

    *Professional is defined in this context as receiving financial compensation for your work as a contemporary dance artist; if none of the above statements align with your experience, but you believe this level to be the right fit for you, please reach out to discuss - we are always happy to help ensure we find the right fit for your level and goals.

  • At this time, drop-in classes are not sustainable for our business model due to the unpredictability of registration numbers. If you have a request for a preferred date, time, or schedule accommodations, please contact us - hello@mingbolam.com - and we will do our best to find a solution 💛

  • Currently, we rent space from a mix of venues to run our programs and classes. We are most frequently at George Brown Casa Loma Campus (a 7-minute walk from Dupont Station) in the Jörgen Dance Studios.

    Pssst! Know a space that could become our permanent home or interested in helping us expand our operations? 🤩 Drop us a line - hello@mingbolam.com - we'd love to hear your thoughts!

  • For Contemporary Dance Progressives and Performance Programs, you will have access to a Google Drive folder with videos of all choreography taught, that we encourage you to learn and practice prior to your next session.

    For ALL programs and offerings, please note that there are NO CREDITS offered for unattended classes under any circumstances and all purchases are non-refundable.

    For Performance Programs specifically, missed classes may result in removal from sections of the dance in efforts to ensure the pacing of the program remains on track.

    For The Creation Lab and MING MVMT Collective, attendance carries higher stakes due to the fast paced nature of the program, the professional level, and impact of your absence on others. As such, attendance is strongly encouraged and the responsibility to catch up on any missed time/material falls solely to you 🙏🏼
