Current Classes
NOTICE: In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, most classes through the spring have been paused so that we can resume interrupted classes once it is safe to do so, and then reschedule upcoming classes with later start dates. We hope to resume our exciting 2020 programming SOON — please stay safe in the meantime.
