CANCELLATION POLICY: Cancellation of a lesson must be made AT LEAST 24 HOURS prior to the scheduled lesson time to receive a make-up lesson.

If you know of dates ahead of time where you/your child cannot make a lesson, please notify the school when booking/paying for your lessons. One make-up lesson per month will be permitted and scheduled as time permits. There are NO REFUNDS on unused or cancelled lessons. If you choose to take a break, unused lessons can be banked for up to 2 months. Unused lessons after that time will be considered forfeited.
