How do the Creative Movement (Warrior) levels work?
Our Creative Movement level system has 10 levels to progress through, ensuring there is always a new challenge for your child. If your child masters all the skills in a level, they will earn a pin at the end of their session.
Remember, there is no such thing as failing at EPIC! Earning a pin is a fantastic achievement, but shouldn't be expected every session, as some skills take longer to master than others.
The levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Monkey
Level 2 - Phoenix
Level 3 - Fox
Level 4 - Tiger
Level 5 - Cheetah
Level 6 - Viper
Level 7 - Poison Dart Frog
Level 8 - Wolf
Level 9 - Panther
Level 10 - Dragon
