Not all our classes are in heels so you are ALWAYS welcome without shoes or sneakers :D

How easy is it to make friends?
The thing we love MOST about this crew is how inviting and welcoming everyone is. WE do have an expectation that you leave your ego at the door and that you walk in open to new ideas and people. If we see someone on their own, we all invited them in. You won’t find a more inclusive group! Also - we are all a little weird. So if you are okay to embrace your silly side….you will have no trouble 🤪
