Other helpful tips!


  • Introduce yourself to your Instructor. Let her know of any health or physical issues she should be aware of.

  • Get to know the other students! Before or after your class, take time to introduce yourself to those in your class.

  • Listen to your body and go at your own pace. If you need to sit out for any reason, feel free to take a short break whenever needed.
    ​
  • Everyone learns differently and at different paces. Your Instructor will always ask if there are questions so don't be shy to ask. She will be happy to break it down for you in a different way. We love questions.


  • Classes always start with a warm-up and guided follow along with the Instructor. After that posture/alignment, arm and hand positions and technique breakdowns will be taught and practiced.  Students typically learn several moves and travelling steps in a lesson which are drilled and then eventually all glued together to create a short sequence. We encourage you to practice at home which is the key to progressing. Bring a notebook to jot things down and feel free to video yourself at the end of class dancing the sequence.
