What is the beginning class?
In the beginning class you learn the 108 movements of the Taoist Tai Chi® taijiquan set well enough to do it with a group. There are no tests or competitions. Once you learn the basic moves and angles, you are ready for the continuing class. How long does it take to learn the set? The beginning class is three months. Because many of the moves repeat several times during the set, three months provides ample time to learn the entire set well enough to practice in a group. What happens after the beginning class? After learning the set, each beginning class celebrates with a welcome dinner with the continuing students. You join the continuing class to learn the moves in greater depth, and learn the foundation exercises that help to build strength and flexibility. You may attend workshops held here, throughout the country, and abroad. The dues for the continuing class are the same as for the beginning class, and you can attend any and all classes offered.
