The programme may include classical ballet training, classical variations, repertoire, William Forsythe Improvisation Technologies and related movement work, choreographic and creative development, Speech & Voice, Body Awareness and Yoga, men’s training, individual technical and artistic coaching and other artistic or professional-development activities.

The exact programme, daily schedule, faculty, repertoire, studios, class order and group allocation may vary according to the relevant edition.

3. Eligibility and minimum age

The standard programme is open to dancers aged 10+, subject to technical level, training background and available places.

Admission to a particular group or programme pathway is determined by ART of according to age, current technical level, training experience, professional experience and the artistic requirements of the programme.

Professional Dancer and Observation Class applicants may be asked to provide evidence of their professional background or relevant experience.

4. Application

Applications must be complete, accurate and submitted through the designated application process.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that photographs, videos, documents and other artistic material submitted to ART of may lawfully be provided and do not infringe third-party rights.

ART of may request additional information or updated artistic material where reasonably necessary to assess an application.

Submission of an application does not create a right to admission.

5. Application fee

The application fee is CHF 40, plus any separately disclosed third-party payment, bank or transaction charge.

The application fee is separate from course tuition and becomes due as part of the application process.

The application fee is non-refundable once the application has been received and assessment has begun, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

Payment of the application fee does not guarantee admission, a scholarship or a particular group placement.

6. Assessment and admission

ART of assesses applications individually according to age, current technical and artistic level, training background, programme suitability, professional experience where applicable, group balance and available capacity.

Admission is confirmed only in writing by ART of.

Any informal indication or discussion before written admission is provisional.

7. Course fee, payment and confirmation of place

The applicable tuition and payment deadline are stated in the written admission offer.

Unless otherwise stated in the admission offer, tuition must be received within 14 days of admission.

A participant’s place becomes binding once the required course tuition has been received by the stated deadline.

If payment is not received on time, ART of may release the place after reasonable notice.

Bank, card, PayPal, currency-conversion, exchange-rate or intermediary charges are the participant’s responsibility unless expressly stated otherwise.

Where ART of exceptionally agrees to payment by instalments, the instalment arrangement does not alter the cancellation conditions in Section 13 unless expressly confirmed otherwise in writing.

8. Attendance period and programme pathway

Where one-week and two-week participation are offered, attendance period and participant status are separate choices.

Professional Dancer status does not automatically require attendance for two weeks.

Admission to particular classes, repertoire, workshops or other activities remains dependent on technical level, group placement, capacity and the programme structure of the relevant edition.

9. Professional Dancer rate

The Professional Dancer rate is intended for dancers who currently hold a professional dance-company contract, or who previously worked under a professional company contract for more than one year, unless the written offer states otherwise.

ART of may request appropriate evidence of professional status.

If the eligibility requirements for the Professional Dancer rate are not met, ART of may offer participation at the applicable standard tuition without affecting the applicant’s possibility of admission.

10. Observation Classes

Observation Classes are intended for dance teachers, pedagogues, rehearsal directors and relevant professionals from dance, movement and sport.

Observation is intended for professional development and does not grant the right to teach or intervene in classes, reproduce teaching material, record classes, distribute exercises or choreography or access confidential participant information.

Observers must follow all safeguarding, privacy, venue and faculty instructions.

11. Professional and artistic opportunities

ART of may provide selected participants with additional artistic, professional, audition, coaching or networking opportunities.

Participation in such opportunities may be subject to selection, level, availability and separate confirmation.

Admission to ART of does not guarantee an audition, company invitation, scholarship, employment, contract or other professional outcome unless expressly confirmed in writing.

12. Faculty, repertoire, schedule and programme changes

Teachers, coaches, choreographers, repertoire, studios, group allocation, class times and the order or content of activities may change for artistic, operational, health, safety or availability reasons.

ART of will use reasonable efforts to maintain the essential educational character and quality of the programme.

A change of an individual faculty member, studio, repertoire, timetable, group allocation or class order does not by itself constitute cancellation of the intensive.

13. Participant withdrawal and cancellation

Withdrawal must be communicated to ART of in writing.

ART of plans and contracts faculty, studios, artistic services and other programme resources according to confirmed participant numbers. A confirmed place therefore creates organisational and financial commitments for ART of, and cancellation charges apply once a place has been confirmed.

Unless a more favourable arrangement is expressly stated in the written admission offer, and always subject to mandatory law, the following cancellation conditions apply.

For cancellation at least three months before the first course day, the cancellation charge is 50% of the agreed course tuition. Where tuition has already been paid in full, 50% is refunded.

For cancellation less than three months but at least one month before the first course day, the cancellation charge is 70% of the agreed course tuition. Where tuition has already been paid in full, 30% is refunded.

For cancellation less than one month before the first course day, the cancellation charge is 100% of the agreed course tuition and no course tuition is refunded.

Amounts already paid are credited against the applicable cancellation charge. Where payment by instalments has been agreed, cancellation does not automatically cancel any remaining amount forming part of the applicable cancellation charge, subject always to mandatory law.

The application fee is governed separately by Section 5 and is not included in these percentages.

Bank, card, currency-conversion or payment-provider charges that ART of cannot recover may be deducted from a refund where legally permitted.

ART of may, entirely at its discretion and without creating an obligation or precedent for future cases, offer a transfer, credit or other goodwill arrangement in exceptional circumstances.

14. Illness, injury and missed participation

Participants are responsible for arriving medically fit to train.

Illness, injury, travel disruption, cancelled transport, visa or entry problems, late arrival, early departure, timetable conflicts or voluntary absence do not normally entitle the participant to a refund, credit or replacement classes.

Where a participant is unable to attend for medical reasons, ART of may consider the circumstances individually upon receipt of appropriate medical documentation, but no refund, transfer or credit is guaranteed beyond mandatory legal rights.

Participants are strongly encouraged to obtain suitable travel and cancellation insurance.

15. Cancellation or material change by ART of

If ART of cancels the entire intensive and does not provide a reasonable replacement or rescheduled option, tuition paid for the cancelled programme will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.

If only part of the programme cannot be delivered, ART of may provide a reasonable replacement, alternative class, faculty substitution, timetable change or other adjustment.

ART of is not responsible for independently booked flights, rail travel, accommodation, visas, insurance or other third-party expenses unless such liability cannot legally be excluded.

16. Events beyond reasonable control

Where circumstances outside ART of’s reasonable control materially prevent or restrict performance, ART of may adapt, postpone, relocate, shorten or cancel affected programme elements.

Such circumstances may include government restrictions, venue closure, serious public-health events, natural disaster, major infrastructure failure, strikes or substantial transport disruption, security emergencies or other comparable circumstances beyond reasonable control.

ART of will act reasonably and communicate material changes.

Any refund, credit or alternative solution will take account of services already delivered, unavoidable commitments and applicable mandatory law.

This section does not remove statutory rights that cannot legally be waived.

17. Health and physical demands

Intensive dance training involves physical demands and an inherent risk of injury.

Participants must provide information about relevant injuries, health limitations or other circumstances where reasonably necessary for safe participation.

Participants must follow faculty, venue and safety instructions.

ART of may limit, modify or stop participation where reasonably necessary to protect the health or safety of the participant or others.

18. Insurance

Participants are responsible for maintaining adequate health, accident, travel and personal-liability insurance for the complete travel and participation period.

Insurance should cover intensive dance training and, where appropriate, cancellation or interruption of participation.

ART of does not provide individual participant insurance unless expressly confirmed in writing.

19. Conduct, safeguarding and exclusion

Participants must behave respectfully, comply with safeguarding requirements, follow venue rules and reasonable instructions from faculty and staff and avoid conduct that endangers, harasses or materially disrupts other participants, faculty or staff.

Serious or repeated misconduct may result in removal from a class or exclusion from the programme.

Where exclusion results from serious misconduct by the participant, tuition is normally not refunded, subject to mandatory law.

20. Participants under 18

For participants under 18, a parent or legal guardian must provide all required consent and accurate emergency information.

Parents or legal guardians remain responsible for travel to and from Zurich, accommodation, local transport, meals and supervision outside published programme hours unless ART of has expressly accepted another responsibility in writing.

ART of does not provide residential supervision or general custody outside supervised programme activities.

A separate ART of authorisation for participants under 18 may be required before participation.

21. Travel, accommodation and meals

Unless expressly included in the written admission offer, travel, accommodation, visas or entry documents, local transport, meals, drinks and personal expenses are not included in tuition.

Participants are responsible for making and paying for these arrangements independently.

ART of is not a party to contracts concluded by participants with hotels, hostels, apartment providers, airlines, rail operators or other third-party providers.

22. Recording by participants and observers

Photography, audio recording, video recording, live streaming or other recording during classes, rehearsals, coaching or other non-public programme activities is prohibited unless ART of has given prior permission and, where necessary, permission has also been obtained from the teacher, choreographer and affected participants.

Repertoire, choreography, teaching material, exercises, music and coaching content may be protected by copyright and other intellectual-property rights.

Participation does not grant permission to reproduce, publish, teach, commercially exploit or distribute such material.

23. Application photographs and artistic material

Portrait photographs, dance photographs, audition videos, links, CVs and other material submitted as part of an application are used for admission assessment, group or level placement, scholarship assessment where applicable, programme administration and related communication.

Submission of application material does not by itself grant ART of permission to use that material publicly for advertising or commercial promotion unless such permission has been separately obtained.

24. ART of photography, filming and promotional media consent

ART of may photograph, film or otherwise document programme activities for internal documentation, archive, educational and organisational purposes in accordance with applicable law.

Use of identifiable photographs, video recordings, voice or artistic performance for ART of advertising, promotion or commercial communication is governed by the participant’s Promotional Media Consent recorded during the application or participant-documentation process.

Providing Promotional Media Consent is not a condition of admission.

Where the participant, or the participant’s parent or legal guardian where required, expressly selects Yes to Promotional Media Consent, the participant grants Klymyuk, ART of a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to photograph, film and record the participant during ART of activities and to use the resulting identifiable photographs, video recordings, audio recordings and excerpts for ART of’s own communication, promotion, advertising and commercial promotion.

Permitted uses include ART of websites and programme websites; Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and other social-media platforms; organic social-media communication; paid social-media and digital advertising; brochures, flyers, posters, banners and printed programme material; newsletters; press and public-relations communication; presentations; promotional films, trailers and advertising; promotion of future ART of programmes and editions; and communication with ART of venues, partners and collaborators where connected with ART of promotion or communication.

Subject to applicable law, ART of may crop, resize or technically adapt photographs, edit video or audio, create excerpts and compilations and combine material with text, design, graphics, ART of branding, logos or music for the permitted purposes.

The permission is not limited to the ART of edition during which the material was recorded and may be used in connection with future ART of programmes and communication.

No additional remuneration is payable to the participant for uses covered by the granted permission.

Where applicable law permits withdrawal of consent, withdrawal applies to future processing and use from the time it becomes effective and does not affect processing, production or publication that was lawful before withdrawal.

To the extent legally permitted, a later withdrawal does not automatically require ART of to recall, destroy, withdraw or reprint brochures, posters, advertising material, videos, social-media posts, archived website content or other material that was lawfully produced or published before the withdrawal became effective.

For participants under 18, the relevant media consent must be provided by a parent or legal guardian.

Participants who do not provide Promotional Media Consent may be asked to follow reasonable identification procedures during organised recording sessions so that their choice can be respected.

25. Optional Media Service · Professional Photoshoot

ART of Zurich may offer an optional professional photography service during the intensive.

The current service is: Professional Photoshoot · CHF 150

The service consists of an individual professional dance photography session. Scheduling, image selection, the number and format of edited photographs and delivery information are communicated for the relevant edition or confirmed in writing.

The Zurich Media Service does not include a professional video service or Media Full Package.

Unless otherwise stated, delivered photographs may be used by the participant for personal portfolio, audition and non-commercial self-promotional purposes.

Booking or requesting the Professional Photoshoot is separate from ART of’s organiser photography and Promotional Media Consent under Section 24.

26. Scholarships and tuition reductions

Scholarships and tuition reductions are edition-specific and limited.

A scholarship is valid only when confirmed by ART of in writing.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, scholarships apply only to the specified portion of course tuition and do not cover the CHF 40 application fee, travel, accommodation, meals, insurance, optional media services or other personal expenses.

Submitting a scholarship application does not guarantee either admission or a scholarship.

27. Intellectual property

Course materials, choreography, repertoire, exercises, texts, photographs, video, branding, graphics and other protected material remain subject to the intellectual-property rights of ART of and/or the respective creators and rights holders.

Participation does not transfer intellectual-property rights to participants.

Material made available for personal study may not automatically be publicly performed, reproduced for teaching, uploaded online, commercially exploited, distributed, sold or licensed without the appropriate permission.

28. Personal data and privacy

Personal data is processed for purposes including application assessment, admission, programme administration, participant communication, health and safety where necessary, payments and accounting, security and legal obligations.

Processing is carried out in accordance with the current ART of Privacy Notice and applicable data-protection law.

Where processing requires consent, such consent is obtained separately where appropriate.

29. Third-party services and payment providers

ART of may use external providers for website hosting, email, file storage, payment processing, website security, photography and other technical or organisational services.

Third-party providers may impose their own terms, privacy conditions, authentication requirements and fees.

A payment-provider confirmation does not replace ART of’s written admission or course confirmation.

30. Personal property

Participants remain responsible for their personal property.

Valuable items should not be left unattended in studios, changing rooms or common areas.

ART of is responsible for loss or damage only to the extent required by applicable law.

31. Liability

ART of is liable in accordance with applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

To the extent legally permitted, ART of is not responsible for losses resulting from a participant’s own conduct, undisclosed medical conditions or limitations, independent travel or accommodation arrangements, third-party services, theft or loss of personal property without fault by ART of or events outside ART of’s reasonable control.

32. Complaints, corrections and urgent matters

Errors in applications, payment questions, complaints or organisational questions should be communicated promptly to zurich@art-of.net so that ART of has a reasonable opportunity to investigate and respond.

For urgent matters during the course week, confirmed participants should use the telephone or emergency contact details shown on their digital ART of ID card, which will be made available before the intensive.

Urgent health or safeguarding concerns should be raised immediately with the responsible ART of staff.

33. Mandatory consumer rights

These Terms do not exclude or restrict mandatory consumer rights.

Any statutory rights concerning withdrawal, cancellation, refunds, information, data protection, jurisdiction or other consumer protections that cannot legally be waived take precedence over conflicting contractual wording.

34. Applicable law and jurisdiction

To the extent legally permitted, the agreement is governed by Swiss law.

Mandatory consumer-protection rules and mandatory jurisdiction provisions applicable to an individual participant remain unaffected.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of protections that cannot legally be waived by contractual choice of law or jurisdiction.

35. Final provisions

If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

The written admission offer, these Terms & Conditions and any expressly incorporated edition-specific information together form the agreement governing participation.

Material contractual changes made after booking will not be applied retroactively to the participant’s disadvantage where prohibited by law.
