Not really. People generally register in the fall and stay for the full school year. Tuition is
charged monthly, so you are able to cancel that registration any time during the year. Classes
are often full, so new students are welcome mid-year only when a space opens up.

After the first class, if it is possible we encourage parents to drop off their students instead of watching class. We understand that some students may need the extra support, but we also find that some students find the pressure of learning new things in front of an audience adds stress. We have “Show Off” days at the end of the semester and work towards a Big Show in the spring and encourage parents to celebrate their students’ achievements then.

Our 10-Open Gym punch card costs $100 and is useful for our dedicated Open Gym attendees. Open Gym is also the time for making up missed classes, so punch cards will only be used for drop in, rather than make up, Open Gym visits. Punch cards can be purchased online or in person, with the punch card existing only digitally.
