Class Schedule

*Mixed class for newcomers and regular members. First hour will include introductory movement and basic techniques; last half hour will feature more advanced techniques at the instructor's discretion.

This is the normal class schedule, any changes will be announced on the front page (cancellations or time changes on a specific date).

Please note: Evening classes will be cancelled anytime the heat index is 100 degrees or more. On hot weather days, the local TV stations and weather-related websites usually state the heat index number, or they state the temperature, and say that it "feels like ______". Please check before coming to class on these days.
