Classes

Our Thursday classes are progressive, with a new term suitable for absolute beginners starting every 7 or 8 weeks.

Beginners can start our Fundamentals class in any of the first 3 weeks of a term. If you miss the first 3 weeks, it’s best to wait until the next one starts.

No need to book in advance, just come along on the night!
