If you’d really like to give our Class Programme a go but aren’t quite sure of what to expect, we can pair you up with one of our friendly regular attendees. Your class-going “buddy” can meet you in town to show you the way to our studios, give you the low down on what will happen during your class, and generally show you the ropes. Just give us a call on 0121 689 3170 or email us to arrange a “buddy” to join you in any of our classes.
to prevent injury, participants more than 15 minutes late are not allowed into class, as the warm up section will have been missed.
Anything comfortable that allows you to move freely. Tracksuit bottoms/leggings and a t-shirt are suitable for most classes. We recommend trainers for Breakin’ and bare feet for Contemporary. If you have tap, ballet or jazz shoes, please wear these accordingly. Please note we do not allow black-soled trainers or outdoor shoes in our studios because they can damage our floors. Please also remove all jewellery before taking part, as failure to do so could result in injury.
