If you don’t see a class section that is right for you please email us. We can try to connect you with another parent for a semi-private class or set you up with a private class. Sometimes enough people email us that we can put together a whole new class! Also, if you cannot add the class to your cart OR you saw a class that was on the list but is no longer there, the class is now full and you may email us to be put on a waitlist.
