Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

From the reviews
SuuzMoves has a great product at a great value. The website is super convenient allowing you to sign-up and pay for classes. Finally, Suuz is a great instructor that goes the extra mile and shares her enthusiasm with you.
I’d like to thank Google for connecting me with Suuz Moves studio :-) Suuz teaches assorted fitness classes and also rents her studio to other instructors. I went to see the space and couldn’t believe how perfect it was!! It’s super convenient, located right off I-77 in the “LOSO” area of Charlotte.
Suuz is a wonderful teacher. She really breaks down the moves and it is pretty easy to follow for a beginner. Repetition is the key. She knows that and keeps it fresh and fun. Her passion and enthusiasm for tai chi and 8 treasures spills over and is infectious.
I've known Suuz for more than 20 years. I own one of her first Scuba Doo Rags. Whether she is managing her cool line of merchandise or teaching a class, Suuz is professional, sincere, and courteous. She is one of the most down-to-earth, grounded people I know.
New to tai chi? Start at Suuz Moves
Suuz Moves comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Suuz Moves
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
