We are a training institute without walls, committed to community education and outreach. Our teachers offer classes at a variety of locations. Most classes are small, and we specialize in individualized instruction to meet the particular needs of each student in the class. All teachers are fully certified in their respective fields. We welcome ALL people, including those with physical problems and different abilities.
Check the listings below for class times, locations and phone numbers of teachers for specific classes. Please be sure to contact the instructor before attending to make sure that the information is up to date.
