Q: How do I know which class is right for my child?
A: Classes are grouped by age, but if your child is on the border between age groups (e.g. age 7 or 11), feel free to get in touch and we’ll recommend the best fit based on confidence and experience.
Q: What should my child wear?
A: Comfortable clothes they can move in — leggings, joggers, or shorts and a T-shirt. No shoes needed; barefoot or grip socks are ideal.
