Are You Okay to Start Exercising?
Most people are fine to start straight away and build up their new physical activity gradually, but just to be sure, please read the following questions. You don't need to fill this in, or send it to A1 Dance but if your honest answer is yes to any of them, you may want to talk with your doctor or other health professional before you begin or at least ask the teacher's opinion before you start the class. :)

activity recommended by a doctor?
