Costs
$25 casual OR $130 for a card of 6 classes to use at either venue within 3 months. If you buy a card, and then bring a friend, you will also get one class for FREE (ends up at $18.5 a class!) The highly discounted card system is to encourage you to commit to coming regularly, and work towards a goal - eg a student performance.
Organise a group of 10 friends or more to commit to a minimum 5-weeks program and we’d be happy to find another venue and day that suits you best.
