PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are available year-round and arranged individually with an instructor. This one-on-one class allows you to learn in a safe and comfortable environment. You may also choose private lessons to better fit your schedule or to move through skill sets more quickly. We tailor each lesson to fit the participants' skills and goals while offering encouragement and providing feedback. Adults welcome. Non-members are welcome for a limited number of sessions.
