Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per class, per term, per year) are not comparable. Children’s and teen classes appear only when you choose a youth audience or open Children & Teens. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.

Selection: of the adult offerings, 8 require an audition and 5 state open enrollment; the rest do not publish a selection process on the pages we checked.

16 of the adult offerings publish a price, each shown in its own basis (per class, per term, per year or for the whole program), which is why prices are never ranked against each other.
