Auditing a class, whether virtually online or in-person at 120 Bank Street, is a great opportunity to understand what the HB experience is all about. Auditors will get to see our top level faculty work one-on-one with students. While generally non-participatory, these accessibly-priced sample classes provide valuable insight into the unique instruction techniques and classroom environments that make HB Studio special.
Once you browse our calendar of in-person and online classes, we encourage you to audit as many classes as necessary over the first three weeks of our semester to better decide which class (or classes!) you want to join for the semester.
Audits are only $20 and are non-refundable and non-transferable. You’ll need to confirm your attendance by submitting this form at least three days in advance of your chosen date.
For in-person audits, we will send you a confirmation email to show at the door when you show up for your class. For online audits, you will receive instructions and a Zoom link from our registration staff after you submit this form.

Audit Guidelines
Payment Policy for Audits
Payments for audits must be made in-full three days prior to your chosen audit date. Payments are made online within the HB Studio Audit a Class form.
Full-Class Attendance
You are expected to attend the entire class session when auditing. Leaving early or arriving late can be disruptive to both the instructor and fellow students. If you know you need to leave early, please let us know so we can relay the message to the instructor and their assistant in the class. You will be in the class as an observer, not a participant.
Single Class Audit
You may audit a specific class only once per term. However, you may audit different classes within the same term.
Punctuality
Please arrive on time. Late arrivals can be disruptive and you may not be allowed entry once the class has started. Please arrive 15 minutes before the beginning of the class you wish to audit.
Non-Refundable Audits
Audit fees are non-refundable. The purpose of auditing is for you to evaluate whether you wish to enroll with a particular instructor.
Online Audits
When auditing an online class, you must keep your camera off and your mic muted (unless the teacher invites you to introduce yourself). Before your online audit, please review our Zoom User Guide for Auditors.
