Questions

  • Do I need to register for a workshop in advance?
    Nope, you just need to show up.
  • Do I need to bring my own equipment?
    For the most part, yes. We'll try to have a few extra sets of gear, but it will be first come, first serve.
  • Is there an extra charge for the workshops?
    No. Workshop admission is included in the purchase of a Weekend Wristband.
  • Where will the workshops be taught?
    Unless otherwise noted, all workshops will be taught in one of the two workshop rooms (doorway is in the back corner of the gym). The first room you'll walk into is Room 1. If you go through the door on the other side of the first room, you'll be in the weight room, which is Room 2.
