How do I pay for a class or a taping/coaching?

Once you have been accepted into class, you will be contacted by your teacher regarding payment instructions. The two most common forms of payment are: e-transfer and PayPal. Payment must be made before your first class or before your scheduled taping or private coaching session.

How do I get my scene(s) for first class?

Scenes will be handed out during your first class. You do not need to prepare any material, just show up and be ready to work. It is recommended that all students be off book for second class. Online classes will have all material emailed to students ahead of first class.

What should I do?

Hang tight! Once a registration form is filled out DPAS is instantly notified. Students currently enrolled in class get first refusal on the upcoming months class session. When a spot does become available the next person on the registration list will be contacted immediately.
