🚨Update: Due to the current Covid-19 situation

🚨Update: Due to the current Covid-19 situation and in response to government restrictions:

All activities and classes in the Drill Hall are cancelled from 11.59pm Thursday, 27 May until 11.59pm Thursday 3 June.

As per our terms and conditions: For lockdowns of 7 days or less, classes will be cancelled in alignment with government regulations and health advice. No refunds or credits will be issued. For lockdowns of 8 days or more, class credit will be offered for any cancelled classes from the 8th day forward (i.e. the first 7 days will not be credited). Credit is valid for 6 months.

As such, if the lockdown is extended further than 7 days, we will be in touch with participants to discuss refund and credit options for any classes cancelled past the 7-day period.

This policy allows us to continue to pay our dedicated trainers for 1 week of lockdown.

All office staff will be working from home during this period.

The dedication and care that this community shares is one of our greatest strengths. We are confident if we continue to work together with kindness, empathy, and compassion that we will get through this time and be back to connecting, creating and playing together as soon as possible.

We look forward to having you all back in the space very soon. Stay safe.

This is my flow state....and gosh I’ve missed it!

It’s been over a year since we trained together and today we dusted off some old faves and had a very fun time rediscovering all the little cues and movements that make pathways work (or not work!). It was like opening rooms in my brain I hadn’t been in to for ages!

This little loop is: Twisted Tornado, side star spin and Clumsy Pickpocket
