- Upon arrival for class: check in at the front desk. We love to learn how your day is going and our teachers are always available 30 minutes before and after class to chat.
- We leave 5 drop in spaces for classes listed in our hot practice room for those who arrive early, on a first-come first-serve basis. If a class is busy with a full wait-list (it does happen), we offer up spaces up to 10 minutes before class begins.
- All drop in visits will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis (space permitting).
