We offer student, senior, and military discounts, plus family packages for multiple members.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first class wearing comfortable clothing that allows free movement - athletic wear or loose-fitting clothes work best. Bring a water bottle and small towel, and wear supportive athletic shoes. Don't worry about knowing the choreography - our instructors teach each combination step by step and encourage personal interpretation.

Listen to your body and take breaks when needed, especially as you're building endurance. Focus on moving to the music and having fun rather than perfect technique initially. Stay hydrated throughout class and eat a light snack 1-2 hours beforehand for energy. Don't be discouraged if you feel lost during your first few classes - everyone starts somewhere, and our community is incredibly supportive. Consistency matters more than intensity when you're beginning your fitness journey.
