Starting this Summer you will see a 50% increase in the cost of my weekly classes. Although this was a difficult decision, it is a decision I need to make. The change in classroom sizes and lower enrollment due to the pandemic has cut my weekly class income significantly. Also, this price  increase will allow me to keep my classroom size smaller (10 student maximum) once we can return to "normal".
