When To Start? A New Session Starts Each Month!
A new beginner series starts every month so that you don’t have to wait to get started. Each new session begins with the new calendar month. For example, if the first of the month falls on a Wednesday then Wednesday night classes will begin on the 1st, Thursday night classes on the 2nd, and then Monday and Tuesday night classes will start on the following week which would be on the 6th and 7th of the month. Please note that regular class series’ do not run on holiday Sundays or Mondays.
Pre-Registration Policy
In order to guarantee your participation a class you must register for the month in advance using our Registration Form. Drop-in attendants may still be admitted on a space-permitting basis, however our classes do sell out so monthly registration is strongly encouraged. Please try to pre-register at least 48 hours before the time of the class. We will do our best to process same-day registrations but they cannot be guaranteed.
