Fall Semester
Fall Semester will begin September 27, 2021
This will be great for people with sports conflicts and who normally start late!
We will still have full 16 week sessions, followed by recital week June 21 - 25.
Is a class card right for you?
Class cards are perfect for adults who can't commit to a full semester of classes. We know your work, school and family schedules can be hectic, but we still want to see your face in class every chance you have!
Class cards are also great for students who aren't dead set on a particular class, and want to try several before deciding on something.
