Advice for your first class class.
Firstly, try not to worry, we all started out as beginners!
Here are few guidelines to make your class go smoothly, for you and other class users.
We will welcome you into our friendly classes, please be assured that we will take care to make you feel comfortable and safe.
You will learn with others of similar ability to make you feel at ease and start at a pace that suits your level.
Classes start with a thorough warm up, ability appropriate moves, and a cool down to help with flexibility and minimise risk of muscle and injury, this is why we cannot accept late attendance, so please arrive on time for your session.
For pole classes, wear shorts and a vest/sports top for pole, a common fear is having to wear shorts, and a lot of people are self concious, but honestly, everyone wears the same, no judgement and friendly faces only. In colder months you can wear long socks or leg warmers. The more skin out, the easier it is to stick to the pole.
For aerial hoop/silks you must wear leggings, a t-shirt or long sleeved top is fine.
DO NOT wear any body moisturiser or fake tan on the day that you come to class, it will make it difficult for you, and others in the class.
Wash your hands with anti-bacterial handwash to get rid of unwanted moisture or oils from hands, soaps without moisturisers are better. Grips are available to purchase for those that need it.
DO arrive to your class 5 minutes early, to allow time to arrive, park, and find the venue. Late entrants cannot be permitted due to health of safety as an instructor led warm up and cool down must be attended to allow us to instruct you safely.
