I will take registrations on the start night of class since there is not
enough time to snail mail this form and payment to me.
HOWEVER: please email or call me with your intent to take any of the
classes below so I can make sure I have enough students in each class to
hold it!
You can download the registration form by clicking the link above, or it can also be found at the bottom of the class summary below...

get critiques for agility skill sets without breaking your pocketbook!
