Joining a live class
How to reserve a Weekly class, where the Zoom link appears, and how Workshops differ.
Last updated
Live online classes come in two flavors: Weekly classes (included with any paid membership) and Workshops & Intensives (booked and paid for separately on Mindbody).
Weekly classes — book in the app
Active members can reserve Weekly classes directly on Dance Alive.
- Open /classes from the Live tab in the top nav
- Find the class and time you want
- Tap Book This Class
You'll see your Zoom join link inline once the class window opens. Mindbody also sends you a confirmation email with the link.
If you're not a paying member, the in-app booking returns "Renew your membership to book this class." You can either start a membership at /signup or drop in via Mindbody for that single class (Mindbody charges separately).
Workshops and Intensives — book on Mindbody
Workshops and Intensives aren't included with streaming membership and aren't booked through Dance Alive. Tapping them on /classes opens Mindbody, where you pay for that specific event.
Cancelling a reservation
Use the cancel link in your Mindbody confirmation email, or go to Mindbody directly. You can cancel any time before the class starts — there's no late-cancel penalty.
If something goes wrong
- "Setting up your access — retrying in a moment..." — your subscription is being provisioned (usually fewer than 60 seconds). The app retries automatically.
- "Booking is temporarily unavailable. Please try booking directly on Mindbody." — the Mindbody backend is down. Use the link to book on Mindbody directly.
- No confirmation email after booking — check your spam folder, then make sure your Dance Alive email and Mindbody email match.
If you're still stuck close to class time, contact us.
