Why do I have to prepay for my class?
Because our classes have a student limit, we enroll students on a first-come, first-serve basis, and if we held spaces for people who didn’t pay and reached our maximum, we would have to turn away people who were willing to prepay for that seat in the class. Plus, we’ve learned that a non-paying reservation has a 60% higher chance of not showing up. i.e. wasting a reservation.
**You can come in to register and pay cash, credit card or debit card.
