2. Students may wait for instructors in a designated seating area in front of the Parlor. Instructors will pick-up and drop-off students in this area at the beginning and ending of their lesson time.
3. Please arrive 5 minutes prior to lesson/class time so that transition between students may take place quickly.
4. Lessons/classes will begin and end at the scheduled time. If, for any reason, a student arrives late, lesson/class time will not be extended to compensate.
