Private classes require at least 48 hours notice for rescheduling requests. One rescheduled class is permitted during each 8-week class period, subject to scheduling availability.
Partner and group classes generally cannot be rescheduled individually because schedules and class continuity depend on multiple students participating together.
To maintain consistent progress and class placement, all classes purchased as part of an 8-week period must be completed within 2 months of the original purchase date. Unused classes do not roll over indefinitely.
Repeated absences or last-minute cancellations may affect scheduling availability and class continuity.
Additional policy details and scheduling expectations will be shared during registration and placement.
Group classes generally have scheduled start dates listed in advance. However, some classes may be postponed slightly until minimum enrollment is reached to ensure an effective group learning environment.
Families and students will be updated about scheduling and confirmed start dates as enrollment develops.
Private classes may offer more flexible scheduling depending on availability.
