What you get
One membership, three ways to train.
- 01
Live on Zoom
Unlimited live classes. Small groups, camera on, and specific corrections from a teacher who is watching you, not a recording.
- 02
Class replays
Missed class, or want to run it again? Every class is in your portal a few hours later, so you can take barre at your own time.
- 03
Training library
Self-paced videos on specific skills, technique and artistry, for the work between classes that actually moves you forward.

Most classes are mixed with students. The Adults Masterclass is for adult dancers only.
Mr. Du personally teaches most classes. When he can't, one of our faculty steps in so every class keeps the same standard. Substitutions are always flagged in advance in your portal.
Levels
Classes run at clear levels. Start where you are and move up when your teacher says you are ready.
- Beginner
- Alignment, placement and the vocabulary of barre and centre.
- Beginner / Intermediate
- Cleaner turns, stronger adagio and the habits that stop the plateau.
- Intermediate / Advanced
- Full class at pace, with detailed corrections on technique and artistry.
- Pointe
- Shorter classes that run straight after technique on the same day.

Are classes adults only?
Most Zoom classes are mixed with students. The weekly Adults Masterclass is for adult dancers only.
What level do I need to be?
You should be comfortable with basic barre and centre work. Classes run from Beginner to Intermediate / Advanced, and the plan builder on this page suggests a starting week.
How do I book a class?
Log in to your portal, pick a day and tap Book. Membership is unlimited, so book as many classes as you like. We recommend 2 to 4 a week for real progress.
When do I get the Zoom link?
One hour before each class you book. It arrives by email and appears in your portal at the same time, with a Join on Zoom button.
Can I cancel a class I booked?
Yes. Cancel from your portal up to 1 hour before class starts. It frees your spot for another dancer.
How do I cancel my membership?
Anytime, from your portal: tap "Manage billing / cancel". You keep full access until the end of the month you have already paid for, and you are not charged again.
Where are the replays and the training library?
In your Momentum portal, under Replays. Every live class is recorded (teacher view only) and appears there automatically a few hours after class. The training library has short, self-paced videos on specific skills, both technique and artistry. Both are included with the membership.
What about time zones?
Classes are scheduled in New York time. The schedule on this page and in your portal shows every class in your own time zone, and you can change the zone in your portal.
What do I need at home?
About 6 ft by 6 ft of space, a hard floor (no carpet), and a barre or something sturdy to hold. A laptop or tablet works better than a phone, and a steady internet connection.
Do I need my camera on?
Yes. Your teacher can only correct what they can see, so set your device back far enough to show your whole body. Classes are recorded (teacher view only) for the members-only replays in the portal.
What if it is not working for me?
If after 30 days you're not seeing progress, tell us and your next month is free. Email support@runqiaodu.com. Outside of that promise we do not refund part of a month, but you can cancel anytime and you will not be charged again.
