*****

Thank you for all the wonderful years on Main Street!

We hate to leave, but COVID has put us in an unsustainable position. 

For the foreseeable future, Peter will be teaching online only,

 so we've made the difficult decision to relocate and close our Santa Monica studio.

Learning is paused as we make transition to our new space, but we are looking forward to seeing you in our classes online soon!


With gratitude,
Peter and Mary
