QUESTIONS?

Will I need gym gear? NO need to bring anything or dress in your Lorna Jane tights. Wear something stretchy and comfortable. We will not be using weights. All exercises are meant to be done in comfort and repeated at home without specific gear.

Will I need to shower or change after for the practica? The workshop is not meant to be physically strenuous and the studio is fully air-conditioned so you should not worry about sweating more than you do when you go to a Milonga. There are bathrooms to change if you want to.
