NO SHOW AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Class Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Because our classes have limited spots and require equipment setup, we enforce the following policy to ensure fairness to all members:
Cancellations
Cancellations must be made at least 8 hours prior to the scheduled class start time.
Cancellations made within 8 hours of class start time will result in a $25 Late Cancellation Fee.
This fee applies to all membership types and class packages.
No-Shows
If you do not attend a class you are registered for and do not cancel in advance, you will be charged a $25 No-Show Fee.
This policy applies regardless of reason unless previously approved by management.
Why This Policy Exists
Our classes have limited capacity and often operate with waitlists. Late cancellations prevent another student from taking that spot and disrupt instructor scheduling.
We appreciate your understanding and commitment to our studio community.
If you need assistance, please contact us prior to class start time whenever possible.
