Registration
Generally, you may register for a program one of three ways:
Some programs may require in-person registration.
You will need to sign a release from liability form (good for one calendar year), before participating in any of our programs.
-
If you are an adult, you may sign this form at your first class.
-
If your child is participating in a class, you must sign the form before their first class.

We will only issue a refund if your cancellation does not affect the minimum number of required participants in the program.
