     – Mixed Classes: In-Studio classes combined with Zoom Virtual Classes. 
          These classes will allow a number of students from the class ( due to social 
          distancing and state requirements for number of people allowed in a
          space ), to take the first class In-Studio. The remainder of the students will
          take Zoom Virtual Classes.  The next class students will alternate, some
          In-Studio, some Online.
