Registration

Please Read the Instructions Carefully.

We are going to try something new for Registration this year in an attempt to make it easier for patrons and staff. 

Starting May 1 we will release an online registration form for the June session that will be open for 7 days, after that we will open the July registration then August. 
When you submit this form your registration will be time stamped in the order it was received.
After the deadline we will create a schedule that attempts to accommodate every registrant and notify you of your registration status and class times.
  • Please fill out a separate form for each child you are registering
  • Registrants will be assigned a class based on the order their registration was received. (First come first served) If a family is registering multiple children the time stamp of their first entry will apply to all of their children.
  • If there is no room for your child you will be notified and you can be added to a waitlist. You will also have an opportunity to sign up for a later session.
  • Please note that we will do what we can to accommodate every registrant but there is a high demand for June lessons and a limited number of time slots. Levels that have less than three registrants may not be offered to accommodate as many children as possible.
  • If there are some spots left to fill registration will be reopened.

Payment is due by the second day of lessons.
