30 minutes before the start of the class (cash, no bank cards) or by bank transfer:
Taking a trial class costs you 15 euros and this amount counts as down payment on the subscription we ask you to complete the second time you come. We give discounts on subscriptions, but not on the trial class (students, unemployed, seniors)
Our subscriptions with decreasing rates allow you to take one or more courses each week. Coming to the courses of your current level (and all lower levels) costs you each time one course of your subscription, which is nominative.
Taking out a subscription implies that the student commits to our project: it is their responsibility to take advantage of the courses included in the subscription they have chosen, and this within the time period covered by the current session (the courses are valid until the end of the session).
A health reason (justified by a medical certificate) may give the right to postpone to a future session the courses not yet taken during the current session, or to a refund in the event of permanent disability.
We grant a right of withdrawal without penalties within 7 working days after payment of the subscription.
The school reserves the right to cancel a course or a series of courses if the number of students attending it is not sufficient.
The prices and timetables announced on the website www.salsabruxelles.be or in the various printed documentation may be subject to change, and courses may be merged if necessary. The number of course hours for a given level may therefore change. If the course were to be completely cancelled, special conditions would be communicated to you.
Teachers and assistants can judge the actual level of a student and redirect them to a course that better suits them at that given time, so that they can progress and flourish in an appropriate setting.
The school cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for the disappearance of clothing, money or other objects in the premises used for courses, the student being responsible for their own belongings.
You are welcome with or without a partner. The number of ladies and gentlemen generally balances out after 2 or 3 weeks.
We ask participants to change partners frequently: it's much more efficient! If you don't want to rotate, please let us know before?
Please check-in at the entrance before each class (insurance, accounting of your subscription…)
… in order not to lose them (your classes can be taken only by you, and you cannot carry over any ‘leftover’ classes to the next session)
We use the 15 minutes before the class for registrations and payments, but also to meet people and chat – enjoy?
Please come earlier if you need to complete a payment.
Please switch off your mobile phone, and take place in front of the mirrors. There will be plenty of laughter and fun, but without some discipline, the class won't progress: help us to be effective by following the instructions and encouraging others to do the same?
… so we can contact you (in case of schedule changes, cancellations of classes, promotions, news, reminders of the end of session, new photos…) and please add galerie@salsabruxelles.be to your contacts so that our emails do not end up in your ‘Spam’ folder
Each level corresponds approximately to 12 weeks of classes, but we recommend to repeat all or part of a level to master both footwork and technique before moving on to the next level : it's about understanding and integrating. Many of our students choose to attend several classes per week, including lower levels than their own (excellent to polish your technique and realize what you've already learned)
Attend 'beginners' class for a whole session before you switch to the next level
Come to the 'beginners' class 3 or 4 times, to master the basic steps – and become a pleasant dance partner.
As soon as you are at ease with the program, switch to 'salsa 1'
Wear light and comfortable clothing. Good dance shoes are a plus, but not necessary at the beginning.
Avoid light summer sandals and cow-boy boots, to preserve your feet and the feet of your partner
Chewing-gums or mints (for a bright smile and fresh breath), a towel, deodorant…
Take advantage of the opportunity to meet nice people, and be yourself! Please introduce yourself and smile when you ‘rotate’, to break the ice. Avoid correcting your dance partners during the class, and you'll make more friends…
Store your belongings in the designated areas, and most important: have fun dancing!
Sometime we stop the classes for one or two weeks after the end of a session. We will publish the info on the website and on Facebook
We would be honored if you requested to join our private Facebook group Ecole Salsa Bruxelles (the exit is just as easy…)
