What if I need to cancel or change my lesson time? What if I miss my lesson?
If you are going to be late or can not make your scheduled lesson for any reason, please try to give 24hrs notice and we can reschedule.
No refunds or credits for missed lessons (no shows), no exceptions.
If you are late to your lesson, we will still need to end at the originally scheduled time slot, class fees/times will not be pro-rated or adjusted.
Why do I have this policy?
From past experience, I have to say it so that people respect my time.
"...lessons are non-durable goods - meaning, once my Monday slot at 3:30 is gone, my son's teacher can't turn around and sell it again. The only way she would be able to give him a lesson later in the week would be if she were to give up time that she had scheduled for her own private life..."

Do I need my own stilts or knee pads when I come for my lesson? What do I need to bring?
No, not at all.
Stilts and knee pads are available for use during the lessons, you do not have to have your own.
Tie on shoes (ex: sneakers) are required for all peg stilt lessons.
If you do want to use your own stilts, I reserve the right to inspect any/all stilts for sturdiness and construction integrity before teaching you on them.
I also reserve the right to not permit their use for the lesson if I find them to be unsafe for any reason.
Lessons are NOT taught on stilts higher than 2' tall.
