Classes at a Glance
Online classes meet over Zoom; you can take them from anywhere.
In In-person classes, everyone will meet at our physical center.
Hybrid classes are where it's your choice whether to attend In-Person or through Zoom each class meeting. We have installed an excellent hybrid system to ensure both In-Person and Zoom students have the same great experience. The instructor will host the class in a physical Muse classroom.
Currently, you must show proof of vaccination to enter our physical center. Please read all our re-opening guidelines and important information before you visit.
