We can help you to reach your goals.

Practice sessions
Practice is important to perfect those cool tricks you learn in class. Our practice sessions are 60 minutes long. One of our instructors will be present to answer your questions and spot if required.

Prefer to train on your own? You can! Talk to us about private studio hire.
