If it is less than one hour before class and you have to cancel due to a sudden illness, please contact classes@sfballet.org and we can help you reschedule your missed class.
Our health and safety policy is currently aligned with San Francisco Department of Public Health and we will no longer require masks to be always worn at 455 Franklin Street. Since we know that wearing a well-fitting KN/N 94/95 is a strong defense against COVID, we encourage those who opt to wear a mask in common areas or during class time to continue to do so if that is their preference. This masking policy may change at any time.
Please don’t arrive any more than 15 minutes prior to class, or you will be asked to wait outside. Check-in will begin 15 minutes prior to class in the lobby. Class pre-registration is strongly recommended through MindBody via the app or the website as we cannot guarantee accommodation for walk-in students.
Late arrivals: Students may not be permitted into class if they arrive more than 5 minutes past the start time.
