Cancelled class no refund given

Cancelled class due to instructor injury. They put the make up class on a different day of the week which I am unable to attend and once emailed they said no refund is given. Fair enough if the make up class was put on the same day of the week that i booked but it wasn't. I'm not free Wednesday's. I booked for Thursdays. Very disappointing and very poor policy.

Reply from Dance Yourself Fit

We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. Because the class was cancelled due to an unexpected instructor injury, we arranged a make-up class as soon as we could based on venue and instructor availability. We always try to keep it on the same day, but that isn’t always possible.

In line with our Terms & Conditions, if a class is canceled, Dance Yourself Fit will endeavour to reschedule the class. This may be on a different day or time or both from when the class was originally scheduled, and might involve an extension to the term time dates. No refunds or class credit will be given in this case.

We upload the weekly breakdown and high cardio workout videos in the members area, so you won't miss out even if you miss a class or two.

Fun and high energy

I've been doing DYF for 2.5 years now. I love the classes as they're high energy and a fantastic way to exercise but also enormous fun with great teachers, a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and no pressure to get the moves right.

3 a week

Teachers are very nice. Lessons are informal and teachers do their best to make you feel at ease
But since I go 3 times a week make up classes often clash with another of my classes and nothing is done to compensate that I loose a class that I have paid for
I think a token for next term or a refund of the class should be available if someone misses a class through no fault of their own
It would be a nice jesture

Thanks so much for your kind words about the teachers — we’re glad you feel comfortable in class 💛

We understand the frustration when a make-up class clashes with another class you attend. At the moment, we can’t offer refunds, tokens, or credits for missed classes, and missed bookings can’t be moved to a different venue/class.

We upload weekly breakdown videos and high cardio workouts in the members area, so you won't miss out even if you miss a class or two. 💛

Speaking about Harrow

Speaking about Harrow: the teacher was lovely and upbeat, and the timings are convenient. But those are the positive things. Classes are scheduled back to back so we always started 10-15 minutes late. If you schedule a 7.30pm-8.30pm class, I recommend you don't have a class starting 8.30pm. Maybe 8.40pm to allow for turnaround and give the teacher a buffer. We were basically standing in the rain with no shade for 10-15 minutes every week. More time was wasted taking a group photo for socials. I understand taking one on the first session and one on the last but every week is excessive, especially with the lack of time. Microphones are needed, we could never hear anything the teacher was saying as she was competing with loud music. Steps are far too complicated, so you don't really get fit cos you're trying to understand the steps. The teacher got a good work out but not so much everyone else. The tutorial videos are sent far too late. First session was chaotic with the teacher having to check everyone in and do the admin which ate into an already late running class.

Hi Dimple,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the Harrow class.

Please allow us to address the points you raised:

Late starts / back-to-back scheduling: We follow a strict class timetable, and we’ll be reviewing this with the teacher to ensure start times are being adhered to.

Photos for socials: We’ll remind the team to keep photos optional, brief, and not something that routinely takes time away from the class.

Microphone / being able to hear instruction: Please note the music is kept loud to match the high-energy nature of the class. Teachers are supplied with microphones for supported venues, and you should absolutely be able to hear cues clearly. We’ll follow up with the teacher to ensure it’s used consistently and that the setup is working properly.

Step complexity and tutorial video timing: The workouts are high energy. However, everyone can go at their own pace to suit their own fitness level. We focus on the dancing and get people moving to the music to enjoy all the benefits dancing offers. There is plenty of time to get to grips with the steps as they are repeated each week of term. Also, we publish tutorial videos in the member's area every Friday before the before the upcoming week’s class to give you time to familiarise yourself with the dance routines.  .

Check-in/admin during the first session: We’ll review how check-ins are managed at the start of term to keep the class running smoothly from the beginning.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback. If you have any other questions, please email Customer Support at hello@danceyourselffit.com.

Regards,
Dance Yourself Fit

Over crowded

Ok...I've done it for a few years but I got fed up with the over crowed classes and there is not enough room without hitting someone. Plus if you have been going to a certain class for years and didn't go or book in time it's so difficult to get back your place. Not much loyalty

Hi Ana,

Thanks for getting in touch and sharing your thoughts.

We’d like to clarify that each of our venues has a set capacity, and we limit the number of attendees per class to ensure there’s enough space for everyone to move safely and comfortably. Overcrowding shouldn't be an issue, as we closely manage class sizes in line with each venue's capacity.

Regarding bookings, we do understand that classes can fill quickly—especially in high-demand locations. To support returning members, we offer priority booking to those enrolled in the current term as well as previous attendees, before releasing spots to the general public. This helps maintain fairness while still offering flexibility.

If you’d like assistance finding a class that may better suit your schedule or preferences, feel free to reach out by sending an email to hello@danceyourselffit.com.

Best regards,
The Dance Yourself Fit Team

Be aware of paying upfront

I didn’t really enjoy it I went once thought about it, when I contacted them to say I wasn’t going. I should have let them know in 24 hours so please be aware of this when paying in full upfront. They didn’t offer me anything at all. I tried to comment on their Facebook but they removed it. Just be aware of the above find an alternative that you pay as you go along.

Hi Amanda,

Please note that we’re unable to issue refunds at this stage of the term. As outlined in our Terms & Conditions, a refund request must be submitted within 24 hours after the first class. Your request was received a week after the term had commenced, and at this point, we’re unable to reallocate the space to another attendee.

To ensure you still get value from your booking, all active participants receive access to our exclusive Members Area, which includes breakdown videos and high-cardio workouts, so you can continue your fitness journey even if you miss a class.

Kindly also note that our Facebook community is reserved for current members to stay motivated and connected. While we understand the class may not have been the right fit for you, we do not remove feedback unless it violates our community guidelines.

Queries related to cancellations or class concerns are handled by Customer Support team directly via email at hello@danceyourselffit.com.

Thank you for your understanding.

DYF Clontarf Thurs. Evening Class

A most enjoyable & fun class of dance with Gemma, who is a natural instructor & motivator. DYF is a great way to combine dance, music, exercise & fun. The provision of dance videos is a great addition- useful & beneficial. I would highly recommend joining DYF. Jennifer, D09

I feel energised after a class and always look forward to the next class. I did feel nervous at my first class, but everyone is so friendly I had no need to be.
The music is great, and each week there is a new theme.
There are videos online showing the steps for the next class. They are excellent, well put together and are easy to follow.
My fitness level has increased, and I even enrolled for a second class in the week too.
I love to dance, and I like that when dancing you don’t think you are exercising. The time passes so quickly. I don’t want the class to end sometimes I am enjoying myself so much.
