A WORD TO PARENTSIt is very important to understand thatall children acquire skills at differentrates. Some children find it easy, whileothers take longer to make their bodiesrespond to what their brain is trying totell them. Others may need to work onstrength and flexibility. It should be ex-pected that a child would take the samelevel class for about one year! A childshould not feel pressured to move tooquickly through the classes, especiallyif they are enjoying it!

A minimum of four participantsare required to hold a class.
