We ask you to contact us for that purpose if the company agrees to participate.

Even if the class is cancelled due to the lack of students the piece (project) must be presented to the show so that the customers can look at it so they will be inspired to take the different classes the following year with you, whom they do not know, a good way to present you for the future. .
