Why don’t you offer online courses?
We feel that online courses may not effectively convey these specialized skills, especially for those without advanced prior experience.
Why are there two courses?
The detailed techniques take time to master, so the two-course structure allows students to learn in stages – first building a foundation, then refining advanced skills. This enables students to gain in-depth knowledge and lots of practice.
Can I take both courses together?
No, it’s best to take them sequentially, completing Foundations first before moving on to Artistry. The courses are intensive, so focusing on one at a time allows you to fully absorb the skills.

No, there are no make-up classes for missed sessions.
