The Beginner Class is a one-month program that meets twice a week. The fee is $110 per month. For children 7-years-old or younger, at least one parent or guardian must participate in the class with the child. The second person pays 60% (see Family Rates below).
Trial Price: Instead of paying the full fee when you sign up for the Beginner Class, you can take the first few classes of the one-month program at a Trial Price. The Trial Price is $25 per class/day; for families, the second person pays $15 and additional family members pay $10 per person. If you decide to continue, the amount paid at the Trial Price will be deducted from the full Beginner Class fee.
A new Beginner Class starts the first Tuesday of each month, January to November. When you enroll in the Beginner Class, you will have the option to pay either the full amount for the one-month class or the Trial Price per class.
Information on the Beginner Class is provided on the Beginners Classes Page.
Monthly dues are required after completion of the Beginner Class. Monthly dues and membership fees are not refundable.
