CLASS CARD CLASSES

 

These “drop-in” style classes are a great way for students to boost their skill level with extra dance practice opportunities throughout the school year!  Class Card classes are optional for Teelin students, and may not substitute a regular class.

 

A Class Card of 5 classes may be purchased for $75, and is valid for any of the Class Card classes offered during the current school year, September 2008 – June 2009.  Cards may be purchased from the instructor, or from the 2008-09 Registration Form.  One dancer per card, no class make-ups.

 

All Class Card classes are held at the Columbia studio.  Each class or workshop is one punch on a Teelin Class Card, or a $17 drop-in fee.  Card must be punched at time of class, or drop-in fee paid.

 

Classes will be offered on selected weekends throughout the school year. The schedule is posted below, and class descriptions are listed underneath. For specific questions, please call Maureen at 443-629-7808.

 

You may print the schedule to post conveniently at home!  But remember to check here for updates...
