What to wear
Please note that these sessions are high energy, fast paced and are heavily based around footwork. Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear for dancing (ie. trainers). There is no requirement to wear a costume for these classes (but sparkles are always a bonus if you wish to wear them!)

Please let the ticket office know if you have any additional needs, if you feel comfortable in doing so. If you are pregnant, have an injury or an existing medical condition we would recommend that you seek professional advice before attending a class.
