ADULT & TEEN CLASSES
With cautious anticipation of the ongoing development to state and local regulations, we are sharing the upcoming schedule for the winter sessions. Keeping the health and safety of our students, instructors, and staff at the forefront of our minds, we are making several changes to this season's classes. For example, most sessions have been moved online via zoom. In the event we are able to open for in-person instruction, we are significantly limiting class sizes. Once open, we will also be taking every precaution regarding the cleaning and maintenance of our facilities. We may not be able to run some classes as planned due to state health and safety mandates. In the event of our cancellation we will issue refunds to all parties affected. Head to huntingtonbeachca.gov for updated class information! Thank you for your patience and continued support of HBAC.
