My child wants to take a trial class, is that possible?
Yes, it’s possible if we have a spot available in the class and we’ve received a completed registration (done on the website) including the € 15,- sign up fee. You will receive a reply email right after you’ve completed the application that says your child has a space in the class and can join. That’s when you can join the first (trial) class. If there is a waiting list you will not be able to click on that class during the enrollment. Please send an email to saskia@amsterdamdancecentre.nl.We can tell you what other options are available. From June onwards children can watch a class but we do not offer trial classes at that point in the season.
Can my child try different classes?
Yes, that is possible. First you enroll for one class. Afterwards go to ‘MY ADC’ to enroll for a second class, you do not have to pay € 15,- anew.
Can my child join a class spontaneously?
No, this is not possible. You have to register your child in advance on our website. You will receive a reply mail saying that you child is welcome to join class, this is when you can come to the studio and your child can participate in the first (trial)class.
If your reply says we’ve placed your child on a waiting list you have to wait for an invitation email before coming over for the (trial) class. When we receive the enrollment we reserve a space in the class so your child can continue with classes right after the first class. Taking a trial class and starting weeks later is for this specific reason not possible.
I just want my child to take a trial class, it says that I have to register for an entire season, how does that work? After registration you are not committing to anything. You can cancel within a week after the first class by sending an email. During the season you can send us an email before January 15th, 2023 for cancellation of classes from February 2023 to June 2023.
