If you need to cancel, please do so at least 72 hours before the class starts to get a full refund. Use the cancellation link in your confirmation email. You do not need to contact staff to notify of the cancellation. If you cancel within 72 hours of the class, a refund is not available. This policy is the same for everyone to ensure fairness.

We aim to make our programs accessible while respecting the time and effort of our skilled instructors.
