👉 A reminder that our policy is to hold classes & lessons when the heat index is BELOW 100 degrees. 👈

This weekend is predicted to be WARM! Since we don't have a dedicated indoor facility, we have to roll with the weather.

For the summertime, that typically means scheduling in the earlier morning hours or later in the day. Regardless of timing, students should come prepared with water bottle, loose & light clothing. During classes & lessons we take short breaks to refresh & refocus.

Our instructors may be used to working in the heat, but only you know what's right for you or your younger student. Please let us know about any heat concerns. 🌡️ 🚲 ☀️
