Want free lessons in all classes?
If you have taken courses before and registered in the past, we can take you in a whole course for free, males or females, into any classes which may need extra singles to balance out the ratios of male versus females or vice versa. This happens often and we put out a bulletin offering this opportunity, but please always stay in touch to ask us if we are in need of "extra" students every month.

(I) When to Start

If you are starting at the beginning of any of the 4-week courses running Tuesday through Saturday, it is preferable for us if you could notify us earlier than the starting 1st class. However, you actually can walk in without notifying us and start the same day it begins or even join in as late as the 2nd or 3rd lesson in the 4-week courses under certain conditions (see conditional rules below on "late-comers" for that case).

* Pre-planning for an appointment for a private lesson can be done by email, by phone, or in person. However, the finalization for a set time must be phoned in at 201-653-2522 and speaking to the director Tracy Everitt. After that, e-mails can be exchanged for confirmation.

(II) Accommodations for Late-Comers

It is not absolutely necessary that you start exactly on the 1st week of a 4-week course. In fact, you may be able to take a choice of "catch-up" classes.

Here are two possibilities to catch up:
(a) Either you may take a single one-on-one private lesson (with or without a partner) before you start with your group, or, if it is available, you may take a "catch-up" 1/2 hr. class with a semi-private group just before the assigned regular class hour. Either way, we guarantee that you will totally catch up and can join in with the group even if you miss the first 2 weeks of a 4-week course. In the case of the "catch-up" with a semi-private, you simply count the "catch-up" as one of your group lessons.

(b) You must notify us at least one day ahead when you intend to take the "catch-up" semi-private because it is not always given, due to many factors including class size and availability of space. The one-on-one is set and arranged to meet your convenience, of course.
