What do I wear? Please wear comfortable clothes that don’t restrict movement. Layers are great. For women, preferably a full swishy skirt, worn over leggings / joggers. Please wear hard soled shoes or ankle boots ideally with a small sturdy heel, (or boots for men.) If you don’t have the above you can wear trainers to get started but you will not be able to make any noise with your feet. We can advise you when you start the classes so please do not rush out to buy anything before your first class.
Do I need to book/pay in advance? Yes we run our classes termly and require payment in advance so we can be sure of numbers and guarantee you a space in the class. By running the classes in this way the same students attend each week so the class progresses together .
Can I drop to classes? We regret that due to the size of the studio we limit the size of the classes and we are not able to offer drop in.
Can I try a class? Yes, if we have a space available you can try a class before deciding if you’d like to continue. However at the beginning of a new term classes may fill up and we would not be able to hold a space for you
