Withdrawals may be made at any time, however, we highly encourage students to "finish what they started" and finish at least the semester, as this teaches responsibility and teamwork.  We require that you notify the studio by written notice immediately if you find you must withdraw.  By not providing proper notice, we continue to reserve your place in class, and your account will continue to be billed.  Not coming to class is not proper notice. You will be responsible for class fees up until notice is recieved.  Notice before the 15th of the month will be considered effective on the date received, and notice after the 15th of the month will be considered effective on the 1st of the next month.
