HOUSE RULES

Each member shows knowledge of the internal regulations by means of acceptance thereof at the time of registration and thereby accepts the stipulated conditions. 

1. General. 

  • Danzateljee vzw reserves the right to change rates, lesson times, regulations and conditions. This will be notified in good time via the website
  • We consider politeness to be an elementary form of intercourse. We like to address each other by first name and say 'please' and 'thank you'. We greet each other with a smile and say goodbye with a hug or high-five; Are we late in class? Then we apologise and wait for the teacher to open the door or pick up the child. Unfortunately we can't do anything about traffic jams, but we can quietly enter the dance class. Bicycles are locked outside, so are steps. We hang coats on the coat rack; 
  • The registration fee must be paid as stipulated in our general terms and conditions. 
  • The responsibility of the minor members falls to the legal representative; 
  • The association is not responsible for damage or loss of clothing or other personal belongings. Both in the dance school, dressing rooms and around the dance school; 
  • Personal, valuable belongings are better left at home or can be stored in the hall in the appropriate lockers - baskets; 
  • Forgotten and lost objects are kept in a basket in the downstairs room and are thrown away or donated to charity at the end of each dance year. Danzateljee asbl cannot be held responsible for this; 
  • In case of regular inappropriate, difficult behaviour (e.g. lack of motivation, impertinence, verbal and/or physical violence, ...), a first oral contact with the member's parents or the member himself (in the case of +18 year olds) will be made. After this contact, the member's behaviour is evaluated by the teacher concerned. If, after a second notification, no improvement can be observed, the association has the right to exclude this member, without reimbursement of the membership fee; 
  • Discrimination and sexual harassment will not be tolerated and will of course be punished with the withdrawal of membership and the member will be immediately denied access to the premises;

3. Dancing lessons 

  • All members write in the appropriate age group, unless the teachers suggest otherwise. The level of the course to be followed is free to choose, unless selection criteria apply. The lecturers are happy to provide advice in this respect. Switching to a different/higher group is always in consultation with the lecturer in question; 
  • An appointment can always be made for an interview with the dance teachers. It is not the intention that the teachers lose time before or after a lesson;
