What happens in your first lesson

01

Warm up. Activation and joint mobility to prepare your body.

02

Learn and practise. The basics of the music and the steps, then guided practice until they feel comfortable.

03

Cool down. Stretching and breathing to release tension and finish calmly.

In ongoing lessons you’ll also review what you learned before, and lessons can include recording short clips so you can see the details to work on. How lessons work

What to bring

  • Comfortable clothing you can move in.
  • A water bottle.
  • Comfortable shoes that slide a little. Sneakers are ideal. Socks or bare feet are fine too.
  • Please avoid boots or shoes that cover your ankles; they limit movement.
