Students will not be admitted into class 15 minutes after the class start time. This is to ensure proper warm-up, reduce injuries and maintain class etiquette.
How do I know if a class is right for me?
Each class specifies a level indicating its relative difficulty. If you are concerned about the level, please begin with a lower level class as a warm-up and then try a higher level class the next time, if appropriate.
How long will it take me to progress to a higher level?
This is a difficult question to answer because everyone is different. If you are feeling competent about the level you are currently undertaking and don’t find it challenging enough, then please have a chat with the teacher after class and ask them if you could potentially try a higher level class.
