All new students, regardless of dance background, must start at the Basic Beginner level since the essentials of the Serena Technique are taught here.
Since the classes are ongoing, you can start any time without prior notice. You can take as many or as few classes as you like. You then advance at your own rate with the teacher's approval.
No special attire is required. you may wear anything that is comfortable to move and stretch in. Footwise, a light slipper or bare feet are a must since rubber soled shoes cling to the floor, and stocking-feet are slippery and not allowed on the wooden dance floor. A dressing area is available.
