FAQs

Getting started

I've never danced before. Can I still join?

Absolutely. Many of our students start as complete beginners, at every age. Book a free trial and come see for yourself — no experience needed.

How do I book my first class?

Adults: Book your first lesson directly online via the SportsNow app or our timetable.

Children and teenagers: Please use our trial lesson form so that we can place your child in the appropriate level.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, and cotton socks. For ballet, ballet attire (tights, leotard, slippers) is welcome if you have it. Youth ballet students (Pre-Ballet to Young Ballet 3) can buy their uniform from our partner, Ballettshop Opéra.

Can I (or my child) start after the semester has begun?

Yes — joining mid-semester is no problem. For adults, just pick a class from the schedule and book directly through SportsNow. For children & teens, book a trial lesson so we can place your child in the right level and check availability. Youth fees are prorated if joining mid-semester.

Booking & the SportsNow app

What is SportsNow?

It's our digital studio platform — the easiest way to book and cancel classes, manage bookings, and track your class pass. Download it for iOS or Android.

What happens if I miss a class?

If you cancel your booking within the specified time limit, the credit will automatically be refunded to your account. You can use it for another class, provided your subscription is still valid.

‍

Do you run classes during school holidays?

We generally follow the Luzern school holidays, so most regular classes pause. Some classes continue — always check the latest schedule in the app.

Youth Program

What should my child wear to their dance class?

Students coming to a trial lesson should wear comfortable clothing they can move well in and cotton socks. For ballet classes, ballet attire (tights, leotard, and ballet slippers) is also welcome if they already have it.

Students in Pre-Ballet 1 through Young Ballet 3 can purchase their class uniform from our partner store, Ballettshop Opéra.

Students in other classes may wear clothing that makes them feel comfortable and happy to move in.

How much do youth classes cost?

Classes are priced by year, based on class length. See our pricing page for full details and discounts.

Can parents watch?

Most classes are closed to keep dancers focused, but parents are welcome at special observation days and performances.

Does my child need to be potty trained for Kindertanz?

Yes. A parent or guardian should stay in the studio during class in case of bathroom breaks.

What if we need to withdraw?

Youth registration runs for the school year, with automatic enrollment into semester two unless we receive written cancellation at least two weeks before it begins. Withdrawal is possible at the end of a semester.

Where can I get dance clothes and pointe shoes?

Through our partner, Ballettshop Opéra, Youth Program dancers can enjoy a 15% discount on balletwear.

You can have your first pair of pointe shoes fitted with the help of your teacher. This ensures that they fit properly and securely.

Payment & Insurance

What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay for adult courses using TWINT or a credit card. Additional charges may apply for credit card payments.
Fees for Youth Program courses are paid via e-banking and can be settled in 1, 2 or 4 instalments.

Can I get money back through my insurance?

Likely yes — through our TVS membership, many students claim up to CHF 600 per year. Once payment is received, you can download your insurance confirmation directly from your SportsNow account. Step-by-step here.

Can I apply a discount after paying?

No — discounts must be applied before payment and can't be added later.

Career & pre-professional

I'm considering a career in dance. What should I do?
