Registration
Students register for courses at the first class meeting. Students should plan to arrive at the first class a bit early in order to register.

The fee for each 5-week course is $60; 10 week classes are $120 (exceptions noted in course descriptions). The Center can accept only checks or cash for payment of course fees. Partial registration by special arrangement only.
Location
All classes meet in the Merlino Arts Center, 6th and Fawcett, Loft 8 (Tacoma). Because this is a secure building, we ask that new students email us at list@tacomataichi.org with your phone number. We will call you with entry instructions.
