All classes* run continuously throughout the year (with occasional exceptions eg Easter and Christmas). Block payment guarantees your space and results in a substantial discount on the drop-in price. Mid block starts are usually available and new starters can receive the discount by paying for however many classes remain in that block. Let us know if you are planning a holiday or have already made an appointment within the block - it may be possible to only pay for the classes you will attend (drop in rate would apply if your plans change).
