If a class is canceled you can drop that week from the line and puts a
time stamp for the new one below.  In the following week 12 is dropped
and a replacement class is scheduled on 2014-03-18.

* class
<2014-03-18 Tue 11:00-13:00>
%%(org-class 2014 02 24 2014 03 25 1 12) class 11:00-13:00

Will `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' do what you want?

Hope it helps,
