If you are a youth or a teen, yes—you must pay for the full semester. If you are an adult, you do not.

Our Youth and Teen programs follow a semester schedule, with tuition payable either in full at a discounted rate or in four installments (When paid before the start of the semester (view tuition policies here). Our Adult Program is drop-in based, so you can attend whichever class fits your schedule. Adults may purchase individual drop-in classes or class cards that work for any adult class, regardless of style or level.

Please note that class cards expire 90 days after purchase.

Tuition students (Teens, Youth, or Minis), please email info@vamstudios.net with any absences and make-up plans (more information about absences and make-ups here). For last-minute absences, you may also call us at (206) 826-0776.

Adult Classes, log into your Mindbody account and cancel your class from your schedule before class begins. If you do not cancel and miss the class, you will be charged.

Make-up classes are available for tuition students (Teens, Youth, and Minis) and some adult courses (see course policies and which courses are eligible for make-ups here). All make-up classes must be completed within 30 days of the missed class. Tuition students may make up a class within the same age group.

VAM staff must process all gift purchases. Please do not purchase gifts online.

You can gift any single class, class card, or scheduled course. Class cards normally expire 90 days after purchase, but we’ll start that 90-day period on the date you plan to give the gift. For holiday gifts, we’ll start the expiration period when classes resume after winter break:

• January 2nd 2027
• January 1st 2028

To purchase a gift, contact us by phone, email, or in person. We will need:

• Your name, phone number, and payment information.
• If the recipient is a current student of VAM: their name.
• If they are not a current student: their name and phone number and/or email. (If needed, we’ll create an account for the recipient but on the day you give your gift, so your gift remains a surprise.)

Tuition students (Teens, Youth, and Minis) will receive an email about cancellations due to weather.

Adult class cancellations will appear in Mindbody. If you were already registered, we will email or call to notify you of cancellations and return the class to your account.

We also post weather cancellations on Instagram: @vamstudios.
