Do I have to register before I come or can I just show up?
Please register before coming to a class. Instructors prepare for the number of students enrolled. It is best to register at least one week or more before the scheduled class date. You are not really registered until you have paid for the class. If it is less than a week before or even the same day, please call our landline phone to confirm if there is room available for you. If enrollment goals are not met, we may have to cancel the class. If you just show up you are taking a chance that it is filled, has been canceled or there are no supplies available for you.
I’m having trouble enrolling on the website. What am I doing wrong?
It seems that people sometimes have a difficult time enrolling on a smartphone; they are not asked for their credit card (which means they have not paid and therefore not registered for the class) and it seems that there is a setting that blocks pop-ups that has to be changed. Using a computer offers a smoother experience. Once you choose the class, date and select member or non-member, a cart should appear in the upper right of your screen. Click on that and it will take you to the screen to submit your payment details. If you do not receive an automatic email response from the system, you have not officially enrolled (or it’s in your spam or a mistake was made while typing your email address. Please feel free to contact us in the studio by email or call our landline phone.
