Santa Barbara 2026 with Master Alex Dong

The Santa Barbara workshop is every year now on the first weekend of May. 

For 2026: Friday May 1 at 3:00-5:30, and then two 2.5 hour classes each on Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3 at 9:30-12 and 2:00-4:30. 

Saturday night we have an organized group dinner. The out of town guests often get together with Alex and some of the local students for a meal on Sunday early evening after class near the beach.

 Students are welcome to bring significant others to the all dinner gatherings. Lunches are on our own usually in small groups at local near by restaurants. 

Lots of hotels, motels and air BnBs (usually the best deal) but you would want to reserve early, I think all have cancellation abilities if something comes up and you change your mind. 

The venue is at Oak Park near 625 Junipero St, SB 93105 on a wooden stage/deck surrounded by trees. 

Tuition: $275 for all 5 classes. Or $65 per class.
