Class Fees Starting June 1

When the pandemic started and we switched to online classes, we did not feel we could charge as much for classes that were often shorter than their in-studio counterparts. We also wanted to be inclusive of people who might be struggling financially due to job losses or other financial impacts from the pandemic. Thank you to everyone for your support over this year, and especially to those of you who paid the supporter rate!

Starting on June 1, with our return to primarily in-person classes, we will be returning to our previous class fees, with two changes:

  • Our Student/Pro rate will now be Student/Pro/Limited Income. We know that people have different abilities to afford classes, so if you need this lower rate please use it. 
  • We will continue to offer the lower rate for our Monthly Unlimited passes. For some of us, the studio is a “home away from home” and we want that to continue to be affordable.

These new fees will go into effect for all class passes purchased June 1 and after. Any existing class passes, or passes that you buy between now and June 1, can be still be used after June 1.

  • Single Class – Regular Rate $15
  • Single Class – Student/Pro/Limited Income $10
  • 5-Class Card – Regular Rate $65
  • 5-Class Card – Student/Pro/Limited Income $50
  • 10-Class Card – Regular Rate $125
