will always be enough! Heels are optional!  Please no
jeans.
We have a whatsapp community where this

Do I need to have danced before? I am a total
beginner!
If you claim you have two left feet, that is absolutely fine! These
classes are suitable for any level. No dance experience is
necessary. Classes will create challenges and enjoyment for all
levels. We can always suggest alternative movements if there are
any concerns! It is always a good laugh and we are all in the same
boat together!

Will I fit in?
We often get questions asking if someone is too old? Too queer? Is
the class okay for moms? I identify as male? I am neurodiverse? I
am exploring my gender? I have anxiety?
The answer is we want you! We absolutely celebrate these parts of
you in a supportive atmosphere. Everyone has different backstories,
but we are committed to you stepping into your power! Please do
feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or need any
adjustments made. We want you to feel as welcomed as possible!

Photography & Videography:
Occasionally, during class we will get photos and/or videos. These
will be shared into the whatsapp community for anyone that may wish
to practice. On occasion these will be use for social media, but
there is opportunity to step out of any videos/photos if you do not
wish to be in them.
