We highly recommend not missing the first day of an event as this is the time the instructors get to know the students and begin teaching combinations that may be worked on the following days. Instructors are not responsible for re-teaching information that was missed due to absences.

Refunds will be granted if a workshop is cancelled by The Joffrey Workshop. A credit for a future workshop will be given if a student is unable to attend for any reason. In the event that the Joffrey Workshop teachers face travel delays, a workshop may be rescheduled. A partial refund will be provided if the full schedule cannot be delivered.
