Registration:
Because of the possibility of overcrowding, I must ask that EVERYONE pre-register by phone or fax (215-925-5436), or email for all classes. You need to give me your name and number and which class you want to register for. I will get back to you only if the class is already filled. Those taking single classes don't need to pre-register. However, if you wish to reserve a place in class but will not be attending the first one you must send a check.

Beginner classes must be paid in full one week before the start of the term. Intermediate and Advanced students who are not going to be present at the first class of 8 weeks must also pay in advance in order to hold their place in class. Missed classes must be made up within the same 8 week session

No refunds after the first week of classes.

Habiba accepts personal checks, cash, and credit cards via paypal only!
