Back2Basics

Every September in studio we do "Back to Basics" months where we really go back and revisit our foundational skills with the aim of refining, experimenting and putting some soul into them! Before you start this course, whether you want to dip in and out or follow in order, ensure you are comfortable with the beginners syllabus. The first video will help you to assess your level of comfort with it, so if you're not sure, start there.
