Class size is limited, and pre-registration is required. This class is for those who want the one-on-one attention within a group setting and cannot participate in large groups.  Balance assessment is required prior to attending class.  Open to all levels and abilities.

The cost is $13 per session or $250 for 16 classes. Scholarships are available.
