1
Do I need to bring anything to the class?
Please bring a water bottle, and you may wish to bring a small towel as well.
2
What should I wear? Do I need ballet shoes?
Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and not too baggy, as it's important for your tutor to be able to see your alignment and posture. You may wear flat ballet shoes if you'd like to, but for beginners ballet it's absolutely fine to wear socks instead.
