**Waitlists: Joining a waitlist ONLY means you agree to receive an automatic emailed response when a spot opens. It does not guarantee you will be in the class or that you will have first right of refusal. The seat will be filled by the first person (whether they are on a waitlist or not) to pay for that seat.
