p.s. all of our classes take place in the treehouse, sometimes
during business hours. because of this, the classes are kept small
so that everyone can participate (usually 4-6 people per class).

once a class fills up, we'll start a waiting list for the next
session.

Vas brought down the house at Williamsburg Fashion Week!
