You need only to cancel by the 23rd of the month to ensure that the cancellation is effective before the commencement of the following month.
Do you offer makeup classes?

The booking into the makeup class can only be made within 5 days of when the class is scheduled. A maximum of 1 makeup lesson can be claimed within any month, and must be utilised within 60 days of the date of the class for which the makeup lesson was claimed and the makeup token generated.
