Logistics
Our lesson studio is located on the second floor and is accessed by a flight of stairs. Unfortunately, the building does not have an elevator.
If stairs are a concern for you, please reach out before booking. We’re always happy to help you determine whether a class is a good fit or discuss alternative options.
Please note
-
The National Mah Jongg League card is not included in the class fee. You may bring your own or purchase one by adding it to the cart when you book this class. We sometimes have cards available for purchase after the lesson as well.
-
You’re welcome to bring your own drink and a non-messy snack; we have basic snacks and water available.
Whether you’re going to miss last year's card or cannot wait to move to the next card, this session gives you a confidence-building foundation to transition quickly.
