Answers to frequently asked questions

Do you offer a free trial class?
Yes. At our ballet school, we understand the importance of choosing the right activity for your child. That’s why we offer the first trial class free. This is an excellent opportunity for your child to experience the beauty and discipline of ballet in practice, without any commitments.
If a student gets sick and cannot attend school, will it be compensated?
The school does not refund payments for missed classes. Students must attend at least 80% of classes during the school year. In case of illness, a medical certificate must be provided to the administration.
Can boys also attend our school?
Absolutely! Ballet schools welcome boys with open arms. The presence of male dancers adds dynamism and diversity to the art of ballet. Boys in ballet schools not only master the technical aspects of ballet but also develop discipline, coordination, and artistic expression.
What clothing and hairstyle are required for classes?
For our dress code, we typically require students to wear appropriate dance attire, such as leotards, tights, and ballet shoes. As for hairstyle, we recommend that students securely tie their hair in a bun or another style that keeps it away from the face and neck.
Do you organize concerts/spectacles with student participation?
At our ballet school, we take pride in giving our students opportunities to showcase their talent and efforts through concerts and spectacles. These performances not only celebrate the progress and achievements of our dancers but also allow them to experience the thrill of performing on stage.
Do you accept everyone or is there a selection process?
We accept everyone into our ballet school, without any selection process or auditions. We believe in the power of dance to enrich lives, welcoming people of all ages and genders. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, you’ll find a supportive environment to flourish in.
Can I register at any time of the year?
Our ballet school accepts registrations throughout the year, ensuring that you can start your journey into the world of ballet whenever it suits you best.
