Less classes in June- Flexible Programming
Flexible programming - only one ballet class (at 9:30) and one contemporary class (11:00) during the first 3 weeks of June -
As a result of the subsidy cuts that HJS has received, we will start in June with flexible programming. In months where less dancers take class (according to our records), we will only offer one ballet class at 9:30 and one contemporary class, at 11:00. This will be the case in the first 3 week of June. The last week of June there will again be two ballet classes (9:30 & 12:45) and one contemporary class (11:00). In the first week of July there will be even more ballet and contemporary classes than usual. Check the summer schedule for details. Periods with less classes will always be announced in advance.
We thank you for your understanding.

• Price rise: single class: 10 euros, 10-class pass: 80 euros, 30 day unlimited class pass: 195
euros
• During certain months there will be less classes, please check the website regularly
• The bimonthly flyer will no longer be printed and distributed
• Workshops will be offered in the framework of intensive programs during certain parts of the year, rather than every month.
With these changes we will be able to continue offering high quality training with
international guest teachers, as we have in the past 18 years.
