Exclusion of liability: The school, the teachers and guest teachers are not liable for accidents during lessons, on the way to or from lessons or for lost checkroom and valuables!
Children & Youth Courses: By agreeing to these terms and conditions, I as a parent/legal guardian agree that my child may participate in all graduation as well as promotion events, competitions and other (dance) events of BodyArtandExpression according to §6 of the Federal Act on the Employment of Children and Youth 1987 - KJBG, as well as perform on stage.
Parents/guardians are liable for their children: school-owned inventory, teaching materials, costumes, etc., provided to students by the school for the duration of classes/rehearsals/performances, etc., must be replaced in full by the parents/students concerned in the event of damage or disappearance.
Courses & Tuition: Course fees must be paid at the latest before the 2nd course unit in October or March; Received by bank transfer. Otherwise a handling fee of € 0,50 per additional unpaid working day will be charged. In case of cancellation of a course (due to illness or personal reasons) no refund of fees! In case of withdrawal due to illness, no fee refund will be made unless the duration and severity of the illness can be credibly proven by an appropriate professional (in accordance with the provisions of the KSchG).
The semester price for courses starting in March (if there are still places available) is higher than the price for courses starting in October because there is no binding registration for 8 months. October courses are always binding for 8 months for children and youth courses.
Course registrations and vouchers are non-transferable!
October course entries are ALWAYS binding for 8 months for children and youth courses. Courses that are binding for 8 months (all children and youth courses, dance mice, children's dance, commercial/show dance, acrobatics, musical, hip hop, urban, ballet, pointe, workouts, jazz, step, newstyle, modern, contemporary, monthly passes, designated special courses) can be paid in 2 installments in the 1st lesson in October and March of the year. Cancellation of classes after one semester is not allowed, the 2nd installment must be paid.
Trial lessons are possible if course places are available, cost € 20,- and are to be paid in cash before the respective lesson. When booking the course afterwards, this amount will be deducted from the course fee. Since data must also be collected for a trial lesson, these terms and conditions are also valid for trial lessons.
For workshops or courses with registration via email, course and participant contracts become legally binding through payment of the course fee and full acceptance of the GTC. Cancellation regulations are stated in the course description. After expiration of the cancellation period, no cancellation/refund is possible.
Children and adolescents must be brought to and from class independently by their parents or guardians. The school does not bear any responsibility or costs for arrival or departure as well as the organization of the same! Children and teenagers must appear appropriately dressed for class (see guidelines on the website), hair must be combed out of the face, jewelry is not allowed in class.
Lessons missed through the fault of the course participant can be made up within the course duration in an ongoing course (of choice, excluding individual lessons and special courses).
In case of cancellation of already booked dance lessons, which are not the fault or the sphere of Body Art & Expression, the students or their respective legal guardians shall indemnify and hold the dance school harmless. Body Art & Expression will nevertheless make every effort to find an adequate substitute in the form of online lessons, and the cancelled lessons will in any case be deemed to have been compensated. Body Art & Expression will further try to make up for the cancelled lessons - as far as possible - provided that the unforeseen and unavoidable obstacle, which is not within the discretion of Body Art & Expression, has ceased to exist.
Cell phones are to be switched off in the school building, and they may only be taken into lessons in exceptional situations that have been discussed. Smoking is prohibited in the entire school premises! We ask for quietness and discipline in the checkrooms and common rooms during class times!
Classes will start on time. In order to avoid the risk of injury due to late arrival in class and thus missing warm-up, we request absolute punctuality. It is up to the teacher in charge to decide if he/she will expel the student for this reason if he/she is grossly unpunctual.
