When a student must miss a class due to illness, vacation, etc., it is your responsibility to make-up the class on your own.  If there is not another class of the same level, you must  take the next level lower.  Please be aware that the studio bases its’ schedule and finances on a student’s commitment to the class and we cannot deduct for classes missed.  Please notify the front desk when you are making up a class.
