Please note that adult students must register to participate in the meet-and-greet jam session, and there are no registration fees associated with this process.
The meet-and-greet jam session takes place at 2590 Truxtun Rd., Building 176, Ste. 102, San Diego, CA 92106
Placement Process
Following the meet-and-greet jam session, instructors will carefully place participants into combos based on a variety of factors including skill level, experience, and work schedules.
Placement announcements are sent via email.
