Which class is for me?
Everyone can join the beginner and open level classes. If you were in intermediate/advanced course with Valmir and Bruna before, you can sign up for that level again.
To participate in the intermediate and advanced classes a certain skillset/level is required. Therefore the teachers can reassign you to a more appropriate level. This is meant to improve your learning experience. The teachers will decide, which level are fit for your current experience, and whether you are ready for the next level.
If you are still unsure, ask our teachers or team. We will help you find the perfect course for you.
For students or similar, after registration, please send a digital copy of your student identification/certification to membership@forroinkarlsruhe.de
