These are advanced classes, with 6 listings showing a published amount out of 8 total. The visible amounts run $200 to $450, such as LA Stand Ups and Will Wallace Acting Company, but their billing basis can differ: a school may quote a single session, recurring rate, or full course. Check each listing's price note and confirm the final total on the school's enrollment page.
These are advanced classes, so 1 let you audit a session first. Dropping in lets you pay for a single session, while auditing lets you watch a class before enrolling. Both are noted on the individual class pages, along with the price and how to reserve a spot directly with the school.
Schedules and prices can change after a source check. Confirm the final details with the school and read how Arlo verifies listings.
