It is not necessary. Payment in full is expected on the day of the class/demonstration.

Can I sign up the day of the class?
We strongly suggest you sign up and make a reservation as soon as you see that we are hosting a class that you are interested in. Because our class size is limited to 10 people and our demand is very high, our classes fill up very quickly. You can always give us a call to see if we’ve had any last minute cancellation and can accommodate you.

How do I sign up?
