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
Of all the classes, with all the teachers, in all the places, my Tai Chi class with Johnny Packard at the Lake Geneva Library was, bar none, the best! The setting along the lakeshore of Geneva Lake is beautiful and invigorating.
Johnny is positive and encouraging and clearly cares about his students. He is able to nurture beginners while challenging more advanced participants. His classes are a nice balance of focus on detail and review/enjoying the practice.
Johnny is a true teacher. Even though he is already very knowledgeable, he continues to learn from and practice with Tai chi masters. He has invested in the technology it takes for him to be able to teach classes professionally from home.
I have been a student of Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny for several years. His teachings are beyond the movements and open up an awareness of body and mind synergy. Practicing and learning Tai Chi has given me a relaxed space in my mind thru this moving meditation. Thank you Johnny.
New to tai chi? Start at Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny Packard
Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny Packard 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 Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny Packard
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.
