For Jazz and Hip Hop bring jazz shoes or sneakers and for Contemporary and Lyrical bring ballet flats or cotton socks. You can also dance bare foot.

You are responsible for ensuring that you are physically and medically fit for the class and during the class you must at all times take care of your own personal safety. If an advertised teacher is suddenly unavailable, due to circumstances beyond our control, a replacement teacher with similar attributes and qualifications will be employed.

Your health and well being have always, and will continue to be, our number one priority. We encourage you to wear a mask, practice physical distancing where possible and sanitise your hands.
