February Classes

All we can say today is WOW!!!!  We just got back from Creativation in Phoenix (formerly CHA!) and are blown away with excitement for what's coming!!  We've always been proud of what our instructors create for our classes but we simply can not wait to see what they line up for the next few months as our orders from CHA arrive.  In the meantime, please enjoy these classes because once the new stuff comes in, these may not be repeated any time soon!!!  Remember a couple of things: 1) Classes are doubly fun with a friend so invite one or two!   2) You get a 10% Discount on your Entire Regular-Price Purchase day of class - at EVERY Class you take!!

CLASS POLICIES
***Classes start promptly at the time listed.  Please have your lovely buns in the seat and be ready to go!    Showing up late is very disruptive to the class that is already in progress.  Plan ahead for traffic or other things that might slow you down! 

If you are more than 10 minutes late, you may be asked to get into another class.  If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will forfeit your class fee. 
Classes must be paid for at the time of registration.  You are not considered registered unless a class is paid for which could affect your seat in those classes with student limits.  You may pay with cash, check or use a credit card with a $2 handling fee.  You may register over the phone and mail in a check or give us a credit card number. 

We also assume you're taking a class to enjoy a break for a few hours and learn some cool stuff without interruptions.  That said, we will now begin each class by asking you to turn off your cell phones or silence them during class.  This will enhance everyone's learnin' and enjoyment of the class at hand.
Thank you in advance for understanding.  If you have problems or questions about these policy updates, please see Patsy.
