The payment is for four (4) consecutive classes. Classes may not be carried over to the next month.

Please be mindful that your class fee pays the teacher, who is here teaching, whether you are present or not. Please consider the purchasing of a class as the same thing as purchasing a ticket to a theater performance, a music recital, or a similar event.
