There is evidence to support each side of this argument, but I don't think a 1 hour class or even a 4 hour workshop is going to stress anyone's immune system enough to make them more susceptible to colds. The dancers would be sweating most of the time, and even if they did stop mid-sweat to get some fresh, cold air, that's only exposure for a few minutes, at the most, before they'd start moving and sweating again. It takes a lot more than that to lower our body temperatures!
