Vacations for Dojos
Neighbors,
I wanted some feed back about vacations. When do you close for holidays? Is it certain ones or do you take most legal holidays off? Do you close down in between Christmas and News Year's Day?
If you are closed down for a holiday do you offer a class for students to make up the time they lost? If bad weather keeps you from opening the dojo do you offer make up classes?
The dojo where I study seems to take quite a few days off - this weekend they'll be closed Saturday and Monday to honor Labor Day. They also close down most legal holidays, the weekend after Thanksgiving and for about two weeks around Christmas/New Year's Day. Is this normal?
I was just trying to get an idea from other dojos how they approach the holiday issue.
respectfully,
