How Many Students are in a class?
Our classes sizes vary depending on multiple factors, however we aim to have the ratio of instructors to students be about 1:6 to 1:8.
Typically our younger beginner classes have a lower student to instructor ratios, while our older more advanced classes have a higher student to instructor ratio!
All classes will have at least one instructor, but some classes have multiple instructors, co-instructors or asssitants.
