Open house, registration info, fees...

REGISTRATION:
WE HAVE FINISHED OUR OPEN REGISTRATION FOR THE FALL SESSION.  REGISTRATION WILL NOW ONLY BE DONE BY MAIL OR BY APPOINTMENT.  PLEASE PHONE OR EMAIL TO BOOK A TIME.
WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION PROCESS?

Whether you register at the studio in person or not, the process is fairly simple...

1. You let us know what class you would like to sign up for; in person, by phone, or via email. Please check the class descriptions (see our Classes Page) to make sure you meet any prerequisites (age, frequency, mastery of previous levels)

2. We require a current registration form for all students. So, for a new student, we will send you a form by email, or snail-mail. You will need to fill it out and send it back to us along with your payments. Returning students can simply inform us of any changes that should be made to their registration forms.

3.  We will also send you a fee statement (our current fee schedule is posted below). We require a 20% deposit (to a minimum of $20) to hold a spot for you until the first day of classes. The deposit is subtracted from your total fees, and the balance can be paid in one, two, four, or 10 payments for full-year programs. Sorry, we do not take online payments or credit cards. You can mail cheques or pay cash onsite. Our preference for students who pay in installments is a series of post-dated cheques submitted with your registration form, but other arrangements are possible.

4. As soon as you have given us your class selections, registration form, deposit (if applicable), and post-dated cheques or payment arrangements - registration complete!
