Classes for Adults — Winter 2023

REGISTRATION FEES

Full Registration fee (actual price for 7 weeks): $300

• I can afford the registration fee and help cover another participant’s registration: $325
• I can afford the full registration fee: $300
• I can afford most of the registration fee: $225
• I can afford some of the registration fee: $150

All Classes are Pay As You’re Able

That means exactly what it says — pay what you or your family can afford.

Our full registration fee represents the amount that it costs us to bring this program to you.  For you, Pay As You’re Able may mean covering your fees and someone else’s. It could also mean paying half or some of the fee.

If these options do not work for you financially, we still want you to be able to attend. Reserve a spot with a $50 deposit and we will work with you personally to make participation possible.

Dane has a great way of making everyone feel comfortable and accepted.  I enjoyed the class so much that I recommended it to a group of seniors that I meet with regularly.

—Linda Z., Workshop Participant

First off, the class was fun, great fun. Dane put me at ease with the first group exercises… The class showed me I was still a creative spontaneous ‘senior’ person.
