- Classes consist of one 45 minute session per week for 3, 4 or 7 weeks.
- Pre-Registration and payment for a class is required with exception of Drop-In Conformation Classes.

- We do not create wait lists. Registering for a "future class" that is not on the schedule will result in a full refund.
- Additions to the class schedules are posted on Fridays.
