The teacher did not show up for class and I have requested a full refund. We arrived at the studio and he was not there. We texted him and called several times, but he did not get back to us. We waited until 11:30 and then left. He eventually called me at 11:45 to tell me that the class had been moved to a different location, but by that time, we were already on our way home. Very bad experience.
