I've never taken step before. Can I really start here?
Absolutely. Level 1 was created specifically for beginners. No previous step or fitness experience is required, and movements are taught step-by-step and reviewed throughout class.
Do I need to already be physically fit?
No. You do not need to “get in shape first” to begin Level 1. The series is designed to give you a starting point and allow your conditioning, coordination, and confidence to develop with consistent practice.
What if I don't have rhythm or I'm worried I won't keep up?
That's exactly why Level 1 exists. You'll have time to learn and repeat movements at a beginner pace. The goal is not to arrive knowing the choreography — the goal is to build confidence through practice.
How often does the class meet?
The current Level 1 series includes eight sessions, meeting Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30–6:15 PM.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing and supportive athletic shoes. During rain, snow, or other inclement weather, bring a clean pair of indoor athletic shoes to change into before class.
What happens if I miss a class?
If you miss a class during your registered series, you may attend one Saturday Levels Step class at no additional charge as a make-up session. Your make-up must be completed while your current series is still in session and is limited to one complimentary Saturday make-up per series.
What if Levels cancels a class?
If The Levels Studio cancels a scheduled class, registered participants will be notified using the contact information provided during registration and a replacement session will be added. Studio-canceled sessions do not count toward your one complimentary Saturday make-up.
What is the series cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your registration for the full 8-session series, please provide at least 24 hours' notice before the series begins. Whenever possible, 48 hours' notice is appreciated.
Will I complete a fitness waiver?
Yes. The Fitness Participation Waiver & Release is completed as part of registration. A timestamped copy of the completed agreement is included with the booking confirmation email for your records.
