Class Policy
With the cold & flu season upon us PLEASE DO NOT COME TO CLASS SICK!! We are all trying to stay healthy.
You must pre-register for all classes at least one week in advance of the starting date. This means making out a check made payable to the instructor (no credit cards will be accepted for payment of class). You are not registered in a class until payment is received.
If you need to cancel your registration, you may do so up to one week before the class begins with a full refund. Otherwise, all fees are non-refundable. We do this because our class sizes are small, and we have a waiting list of people to get in.
The class fee pays the instructors for their time during the four week session. Be sure and attend all sessions offered, as there will be no make-up classes. Due to previous problems, we ask that you do not pressure our instructors for deviations from this store policy.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
