It is recommended that you bring or wear something to cover your knees in case we do work on the floor. Sneakers are the recommended footwear for this class. , but we may remove them for certain sections of class.

Ballet clothing (see above) and/or leggings and tank tops or shirts are all acceptable. Anything a student would normally wear for a workout will likely stand in good stead.

Safety first, and fun a close second!
