Our General Program drop-in classes on Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evenings are offered at the Centre and broadcast simultaneously with Zoom. You are welcome to join our class from the comfort of your home. You are very welcome to join us at the Centre for class. Please review the covid-19 guidelines before coming to class. Generally you do not need to register for our drop-in classes, however, because we are practicing social distancing at the Centre to conform with government of Ontario guidelines, we have limited seating. We ask you to text or email before class to reserve your seats.
