A: Yes, absolutely. Beginner classes start from zero, with simple steps taught in a clear and progressive way. The environment is relaxed and pressure-free — the only requirement is the desire to have fun.

7. What happens if I miss a class?
A: We understand that unexpected things happen. While replacement classes cannot be guaranteed, we recommend letting the school know about your absence so that the best possible solution can be found.

8. What footwear should I wear?
