Waiting Lists

We understand that waiting lists can feel frustrating at times, but you must trust the process! Space almost always opens up — usually, not until the same day as class. Be prepared, and make sure you cancel your waiting list reservation within 2 hours in advance if you can’t make it after all — otherwise, you could lose a class or be charged a fee. Make sure you have an active payment on your account for every wait list spot you reserve — if your spot is unpaid and room on the waiting list opens up, your place can’t be guaranteed until paid for.

Cancellation Policy

Cancel your spot at within 2 HOURS IN ADVANCE if you can’t make it, so someone else can come to class.

Short Notice Policy of 2 hrs.

Last-minute things come up. For these times, we have a short notice policy of cancelling 2 hrs before class.

Penalty fees for late-cancels & no-shows

Late Cancellation: Canceling reservation less than 2 hrs before class

No Show: You do not show up to class.

Penalty Fee:

  • Members and Unlimited packages: Charged a $10 late cancel and a $20 no show penalty fee
  • Class card & drop-in students: 1 class will be used

We take our late-cancel and no-show policy seriously as some students have not respected them, which is unfair to our community and the studio.  For most of our community, the new penalty fee has no impact, as most of you cancel your reservations within 24 hrs. To not have any penalty fees….You can cancel your reservation up to 2 hours before class without penalty.

Notifications
