Impro for teens and children

Intro to Impro Pic

Our current 'Wildcard' class...
Streetdance for uncoordinated adults

90 minute classes.

Streetdance is fun, but less so if you're an adult in a class of teenagers!

As a result, we're putting together a fun series of classes aimed at complete beginners and at ages 20 and over, of any fitness level. The emphasis is on fun routines, rhythm and movement and NOT on a high energy burn. Guys and girls are welcome!

The classes are due to start in October in Central London so join our streetdance mailing list now and we'll send you more info.
