All of our group classes and private lessons last 45 minutes. This excludes special packages or advertisements, which run for 30 minutes.

What are the best shoes to wear?

For your first lesson, just something comfortable you can move around in.  Pumps or sandals should only be worn if you have a strap to keep them from slipping.  Tennis shoes that arn't too sticky on the bottom are fine too.  Flip flops should not be worn.

You will be moving at a moderate pace(depending on class level) and it is normal to perspire. Wearing a t-shirt and pants is fine as long as you are unrestrained and it can breathe.

Ladies- Understand that there are holding positions for yourself and your partner that you may like to cover.
