What shall I wear?
There is no specific dress code for our classes. For your first class just wear something comfortable that you can move in. As you progress you may prefer to wear a leotard and tights. You don't need to wear ballet shoes for you first class but we recommend you wear them for subsequent classes. Contemporary classes are taken barefoot.
Which class is right for me?
Please see the Course Outline page for some class descriptions which may aid your decision. Classes are drop in so we find the best way to find the right class is to come along and try them.
Can I pay in advance, or for a block of classes?
Our classes are drop in only and are payable with cash on the door. We are unable to take advance payment or block bookings.
What facilities do you have?
We have men and women's changing rooms, with showers which are available for your use, however we recommend that you take any valuables with you into the studio.
