Alternate forms of payment may be accepted in some classes. This can include trade-for-services. If you are a skilled professional and would like to trade services, please contact Nicola in advance of submitting your registration. One-for-one dollar or hour trades generally applied.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMPLETE A FORM IN CLASS?
Anyone waiting until the first class to complete forms must pay for class before start date.
WHY? Studio rental commitments are contractual, with firm deadlines and restrictions on cancellations. Nicola must know the number of registered students in advance of start dates.
Your walk-in registration will be accepted only IF the specific studio space can accommodate the extra student(s).

CANCELLED + MISSED CLASSES: There are NO refunds for missed classes.
Make-up classes are your responsibility -- attend the best level you can for you, and do so by the end of the next session.
Classes may be cancelled/postponed at the studio owner's discretion. Nicola as a renter has no control over closures/changes, and is not responsible for any financial loss or personal inconvenience as a result.
Nicola is not able to re-schedule classes cancelled by her due to illness, training, travel, etc.. These classes may be taught by a substitute, held as practice time, or may become class credits for future registrations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please attend class first, before making or purchasing your first hipscarf, veil, cane, or finger cymbals.
