What does the outdoor class schedule look like?

How many students will be allowed per class?
In order to follow the recommended social distancing guidelines from state and county officials, we will be capping each class at 12 students.
What should I bring or wear to class?
Even though the class is outside, we require all students to wear their normal East West uniform and belt. Additionally, we highly encourage our students to wear shoes that you are comfortable moving around in. Please bring your own water bottle so you can stay hydrated! Classes will be held under a tented area, so there will be protection from the elements.
How can I sign up for class?
We will be using a scheduling program called Acuity. It is very simple to use, no password or login is necessary and it will be fully integrated into our website.
