CARISMA is running a new beginners course, starting on the 19 January 2010 to run for 4 consecutive Thursday and Tuesday classes (e.g. 19, 21, 26, 28).

The club is at the moment very close to its saturation point and January is usually one of the busiest months for beginners: that means  that the following beginners’ course may be in March or later.  If you would like to join (or you know somebody who would like to) please do it on the 19th of January.

If you’d like to check our prices please look at this page.

Feel free of advertising our beginners course at your company or your social club: you can do so by downloading and printing our flyer from this page.

There is no need for booking for beginners: please just turn up at 6pm at Kelsey Kerridge Sports Hall, Queen Anne terrace, Cambridge.
