The line-up of instructors includes both international and local experts such as Liv Lo Golding from Singapore, Hiro Landazuri from Los Angeles, Fee Zard from Australia, and Victor Chau from Hong Kong. A ticket for the event is priced at $15 for a 14-day access and complimentary three months on-demand classes, with 20 per cent of proceeds donated to charities offering relief for Covid-19.
