During heatwaves, classes will be adapted to help everyone stay comfortable. Find information and tips here.
When temperatures exceed approximately 25°C, the dress code policy will be relaxed to ensure student comfort and safety. Traditional ballet tights are not mandatory. Instead, students may wear black shorts over their leotard for extra comfort.
Hydration
Please ensure to bring a water bottle to class.
Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to drink.
Take small sips rather than large amounts at once.
Drink water regularly throughout the day, not only during class.
Arrive well-hydrated before the start of each class.
Drink sports drinks in between classes, in the waiting area downstairs, to replace electrolytes.
Studio rules: Bring a sealable water bottle that is easy to store. Only water is allowed in the studio; other beverages are not permitted in order to protect the studio floor.
Safety
Students are encouraged to listen to their bodies and inform the teacher immediately if they feel unwell, dizzy, or overheated.
Little Extras
As a little Dutch treat, salty liquorice (zoute drop) is available in the studio. It’s a favourite among many students, especially during hot summer days.
A light water mist spray is also available in the studio for a refreshing moment during class.
