Classes
​
You will sign up with your ticket along with your preferences for what classes you wish to take, as much as possible we will match your preferences with your individualised timetable, while aiming to match numbers of leaders and followers and keeping class sizes within our room requirements. We are running fundamentals classes on saturday morning, followed by themed classes for the rest of the weekend. The classes are not open to complete beginners and will not cover the basic steps.
Saturday
