April 16th is a Wednesday. Are all classes scheduled during the week?

It might be April vacation for some kids and some adults, and I can't speak for everyone, but I think most adults would have a real hard time making any class scheduled during the week.

This class is held during the day (Wednesday) because Hartford area kids have the day off.

Classes generally are held during the week from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. It's a class room environment.
