Tiny Tips: "easy" class

Don't fear taking a class below your level, whether it be every once in a while (like as a make-up class) or a regular part of your schedule.  Taking an "easy" class can give you an opportunity to really focus on perfecting your technique in a low-pressure environment.  Don't show off by adding flourishes; do the combinations exactly as the teacher demonstrates.  This shows respect, maturity, and self control gained through a higher level of training.
