I'M NOT SURE!At some stage everyone has been a first time performer. It can be a bit daunting knowing what class is best, what level to start at or even what to wear. Don’t worry, we go you covered. First things first, all trial classes are FREE and there is no obligation to continue. This is for all classes and genres we have (excluding private lessons). On top of that we will chat with you about what experience (or none) you might have and what genre would be best for you given your likes. Then you can register in your own portal HERE and come to a class to trial (subject to class availabiliy). You can see what day and time it is when you book in. As a general rule for a trial class it is best to wear something that allows free movement and is comfortable. Then when you love the class (we bet you do) you can enrol in your customer portal. Just send us a message on our contact page HERE and we can go from there. Simple as that.
