Nope! This course is designed for complete beginners. You’ll be guided step-by-step in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in. Avoid heavy boots or heels with no ankle support. Dance shoes are welcome but not required.

Class sizes are limited to ensure personal attention and a good learning experience. Booking early is advised!

What if I miss a class?

Unfortunately, we can’t offer refunds for missed sessions. But we’ll give you recap tips so you can stay on track.

You can cancel up to 7 days before the course starts for a full refund. After that, your booking is non-refundable, as places are limited.
