THE FUNKTION CLASSES
Embedded Files
The Funktion House runs most of its classes in two formats: Mini Series or Workshops.
Mini Series typically run as 4-week progressives, while Workshops vary in length.
For those seeking drop-ins, we offer the option to attend individual classes within a 4-week Mini Series, allowing participants to join when it’s convenient for them.
Miss a Class?
If you miss a class in a Mini Series, you can make it up by attending a similar or identical class in another Mini Series within one month of the missed date.
REGISTRATION:
All sessions and workshops listed below can be purchased according to their corresponding week value. *
If you’re dropping into a Mini Series class, you can purchase it below—just be sure to include the date and class name in the checkout form. We also offer drop-in packs of 3 which you can use across multiple mini series.
All mini series classes are 1.5 hours in length. Workshop classes vary in length.
*All classes are non-refundable.
If you sign up for a Mini Series or Workshop and are later unable to attend the session, you may transfer your entire registration to a later session within three months of the original start date.
For drop-in classes, your single class purchase is valid for 30 days from the purchase date and a pack of 3 classes is valid for 60 days from purchase. If you cancel within 1 hour of the class start time, the class will no longer be valid for reuse unless there are extreme circumstances.
