Taking Part: What You Need to Know

Kate McWilliam School of Movement

Welcome! To help everyone have a safe, fun, and rewarding experience, here is some important info about what to wear, how to participate, and staying safe during classes.

What to Wear

  • Please wear comfortable clothes that let you move freely - leggings, shorts, fitted tops, or leotards all work well.

  • For safety and visibility, hair should be tied back securely.

  • Depending on the class, you can be barefoot or wear suitable footwear like dance shoes or grip socks.

  • Please avoid wearing jewellery or accessories that might cause injury or damage our equipment.

Joining In

  • Try to arrive on time and ready to get involved fully in each session.

  • We encourage participation at every level—this helps keep everyone safe and makes learning more enjoyable.

  • If you have any injuries or medical conditions that might affect your class, please let your coach know at the start of the session.

  • We ask all students to treat their fellow students, staff, and the venue with respect at all times.

Staying Safe

  • Please listen carefully to instructions to help avoid injury.

  • Coaches may adapt activities to fit individual abilities and health needs.

  • If you ever have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to speak with your coach or staff—we’re here to help!
