*** Cancellation Policy:  We know you are excited to take a class. It's going to be awesome! A lot of effort goes into our classes -- scheduling, promoting, and preparation by our incredible instructors. For this reason, we cannot guarantee refunds for classes cancelled within 72 hours of the start of the class. Yes, we know sometimes things come up; we get it. If you must cancel, we will attempt to fill your spot in the class. Out of respect for our instructors' preparation efforts, if we can't fill the seat we will not make a refund. Thank you for your understanding. ***
