Our waitlist operates on a first-come, first-served basis. We will contact you via email or phone if a spot becomes available for your registration. Please note that joining the waitlist does not guarantee admission to the class.
Typically, we offer the same class in the following season. Feel free to check our website periodically or sign up for our SAC eNews to receive updates on current and upcoming classes/events.
