SCHOOL ORDER

Registration

Classes are assigned by the school management. Students are selected into a class according to their social and physical abilities (normally with same-aged students). A trial lesson must be taken prior to registering.  Students are expected to attend class regularly. A student that constantly disrupts the class during lessons or abuses the school order in any way can be expelled from the school. The maximum class size is between 10-14 students. Courses with less than 3 students registered will be cancelled (exception: Classes designed for RAD examination preparation).  Permission must be asked in advance in order to watch a class (please no small children).

 

Absences

Please notify us per Email if you/your child is going to be absent.  Missed lessons can be made up in another lesson of the same level or one higher. This must be organised through the school.

 

Payment

Die Lektionen sind jeweils für das laufende Quartal im Voraus bei Erhalt der Rechnung zu bezahlen. Wird die Zahlungsfrist von 4 Wochen überschritten, wird eine Mahnungsgebühr von 20.- verrechnet. Rückerstattungen können nur bei längerer Krankheit/Unfall gewährt werden.

Ballet Examinations

The school offers ballet examinations starting at the Grade 1 level. These exams act as an incentive for the children to improve their technique. The examinations are organized through the Royal Academy of Dance, use highly qualified examiners and are accompanied by a pianist. Examinations are usually scheduled in November/December or June/July. Please note: all exams are voluntary. Students must train twice a week in order to be prepared for an examination. There is an additional cost for these lessons. Most Grades are offered twice per week. The additional lessons needed for the examinations normally take place during these two classes. Please refer to the Class Schedule to find out the times and days. If most students can not attend the second class due to conflicting schedules, then an additional class will be arranged. A main rehearsal is arranged prior to the examination in which parents and friends are warmly invited to attend.

 

Recitals

Normally, every  year a large-scale production on stage is offered. If a student would like to take part in this production, then they must also commit themselves to the rehearsal involved. The production is presented on a weekend, usually in March or early June. Dances are learned during regular class lessons and begin normally in October. One stage rehearsal is scheduled on a Saturday. The performance takes place on a Sunday.
