Before starting any exercise programme it is advisable to seek advice from your GP or a health professional if you have any health concerns, such as a health condition or an injury. Wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move in and suitable footwear. Ideally jazz shoes, but you could also work in bare feet or trainers to begin with. Please arrive for your first class 10 minutes early to allow time to complete the health questionnaire to identify to the tutor any contra indications to undertake exercise. Prosp User 5
