Can a foreign tourist attend Okinawan language class in Naha?

After following the BBC links to his English website, it seems he teaches at a cultural center in Naha…

I currently teach Uchinaaguchi at the Well Culture School in Naha. If you have any inquiries or would like to try it out, please call 098-832-5588.

Judging by the Japanese news page which still mentions his teaching as recently as autumn last year, I would have said it is ongoing, however I’ve tried searching the site for the course and couldn’t find any results. I don’t speak enough Japanese to get the details by phone, but I’ll try and rope in a friend in who can.

Alternatively his profile page states:

Uchinaaguchi(Okinawan Language) Lessons/Lecture

I can teach/lecture about Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan Language) and will accommodate your time requirements. I can tailor your needs to Junior High School, Senior High School, College and other Institutions. Please feel free to contact me and discuss further!

That I did. The next classes (all in Japanese I might add) are the 5th April 2014 and the 19th April 2014, from 9:30am to 11:30am.
