Cancellations & Refunds

 

What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens, but to keep our studio running smoothly, we have the following policies:

• Ongoing Weekly Classes: If you need to stop attending, we require a two-week paid notice.

• Workshops & Other Classes: You may cancel up to two weeks before the start date.

• Private Lessons: These are non-refundable unless the studio cancels the session.

 

Do you offer private lessons?
Yes! We offer private lessons and walk-in sessions. These are scheduled directly with the studio and must be paid in advance.

​

Attendance, Weather & Make-Ups

 

What happens if I miss a class?

For ongoing weekly classes, if you miss a regular class, you are welcome to attend a make-up session in another class, provided there is space available and you are still an active student.

• The “Rule of Two”: You may hold a maximum of two make-up credits at a time.

• “Make-Up Heaven”: If you schedule a make-up class and miss it, that credit is lost and cannot be rescheduled.

 

When do classes get cancelled for snow or bad weather?
We generally follow the Newburyport school system for safety closures:

• Daytime Classes: If Newburyport schools are closed, all morning and afternoon classes are canceled. School closures are typically announced on the Newburyport Public Schools website (look for the closure banner).

• Evening Classes: A decision will be made later in the day. Your instructor will notify you via email if class is called off.

 

Do you offer make-up classes for weather cancellations?
Classes canceled due to bad weather are not automatically rescheduled. However, you are welcome to use a make-up credit to join another class session if space allows.
