If you provide at least 28 days notice then you can reschedule to a different class free of charge. If you need to reschedule after this time there is a fee involved.

As we are a small business we can't afford to be out of pocket for an entire attendance. I appreciate your understanding. Please reach out if extenuating circumstances apply to you.
