An hour or more before class starts:

The first student on the waitlist will be automatically enrolled in the class if a student already registered cancels more than an hour prior to the class.

Students on the waitlist will be notified by email or text message if a spot becomes available. Students must confirm their attendance at least 30 minutes before class, otherwise their spot will be given to the next student on the waitlist.

If it is less than an hour before the class and you are on the waitlist you may still receive a spot in the class, but will have to wait in person in the lobby.

What should I wear to class?
In general, you should wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely yet allows the instructor to see your body alignment, such as leotards, tights, leggings, or yoga outfits. For footwear, if taking Ballet, ballet slippers are not required for your first class but are recommended for any subsequent classes. Modern and Contemporary classes are usually barefoot, though jazz shoes or socks may be worn if you wish. Street Style classes generally wear sneakers but vary depending on the genre of the class.
