ARRIVING AT THE STUDIO & ATTENDING CLASSES 

• Please arrive between 10-15 minutes before the class start time to ensure your spot in class. I’m a big fan of a relaxed welcome, check in moment, informing me if you have injuries & space for your questions 
• If you have an injury or health condition please inform me so I can take care of you as best as I can during class.
• Upon arrival please pass by check-in desk so we can confirm your attendance. This is also valid for OneFit & ClassPass students.
• Did you reserve a spot online prior to class? If not, please do so to guarantee your spot. Using the Eversports booking software you can purchase class credits on the website  www.thedancemovement.nl/shop/ and then book your class in the schedule www.thedancemovement.nl/schedule/.
• Need to cancel? Please do so online, via your Eversports account, at least 5 hours prior to the class start time.
• Wanting to take your water into class? Please bring a non-breakable water bottle so that we don’t have glasses flying around. Spill something? Please clean it up for your mates, who plan to stay on their feet.
• There is simple a communal changing room + toilet. There are no lockers so please keep your valuable belongings at home. You can leave your belongings in the dance studio.

COMFORT & ATTIRE

• Belly Dance: Some Belly Dance hip scarves are provided, however, if you have your own Belly Dance hip scarf bring it with you. 
• Belly Dance in Den Haag: I advise you to bring clothing layers/ cosy socks/ a jumper into class. The studio can be cold for Belly Dance.
• Belly Dance: Bring soft ballet shoes/socks, you can also dance bare foot, wear something that is comfy and you feel pretty in. Leggings & a snug fitting top. Showing your belly can be helpful with learning technique but it’s definitely not a must. 
• Zumba: I recommend wearing comfortable workout clothing that does not restrict your movement. Please wear sport/aerobic/dance sneakers as Zumba involves lots of jumping and I want to ensure the safety and health of your knees and ankles.

GOOD VIBES

• Both Zumba & Belly Dance classes are inclusive and welcome to adults of all genders, ages and dance levels. As long as the intention is to learn and add to the good vibes.
  If I feel that that might not be the intention, or if you are disturbing the peace of the class or the learning proces of others I have the right to ask you to leave. 
• We’re a modern bunch – I won’t throw dirty looks at your iPhones. In fact, I love seeing your selfies and progress and learned dance skills on your social media. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT FILMING STUDENTS WHO DONT WANT TO BE FILMED. And please check with me, Sarah Safi Harb, before posting full choreographies on social media. Otherwise don’t forget to tag me @sarahsafiharb & @the.dance.movement. 
• Please leave phones on silent + inside the changing room & class.
• I love to see you giggle and interact with others, but please when I am explaining steps, refrain from chit-chatting or giggling with others, it makes it hard for me to hear myself and for others to concentrate. 
• Be yourself + acknowledge others. Do you need time to take a little break, stretch, close your eyes, be upside down? Go for it. 
• Be respectful and kind to other students, we all have different learning speed, or sometimes we just have a rough day. It’s important to provide each other with kindness and a safe space for learning.
• Come to practice as yourself, with yourself + extend your good vibes to others.
• Please neatly fold & put away, with care, the Belly Dance scarves that you borrowed during class for the next bunch of students.
• Have feedback? – please let the me know. I’m here to serve you + always appreciate your thoughts + suggestions.

YOUR HEALTH + WELLBEING

• If you are pregnant, have a severe and/or recent injury health concern, please consult your doctor before practicing.
• If you are pregnant, have an injury or health concern, please do let me know before the start of our practice. I will do my best to recommend alternative exercises when relevant, or ask you to skip certain exercises.
• Try not to eat anything too heavy within 2 hours of practicing with us. This will allow you to get better results from your class + also better digestive results from your food, hehe.
• Listen to your body before class. If you are feeling stressed, your practice may help you. However, if you are feeling seriously unwell please choose to rest.
• Listen to your body during class. We are often working with our comfort zones  – trying to go a little bit deeper, a little bit further. However, if you feel any pain in the exercises, please return to a comfortable position.
• I am not a doctor. My advice is given with good intention, yet without medical expertise. If you ask us for advise regarding your health, we might have some awesome suggestions; however, please always see your doctor for anything concerning your medical, emotional or psychological wellbeing.

VALUABLE ITEMS | LOST PROPERTY | LEFTOVER ITEMS

• Sarah Safi Harb or one of the assistant teachers has no liability for any physical or material damage or robbery.
• Please leave valuable + sentimental items at home if you’re worried about their safety. THERE ARE NO LOCKERS PRESENT. You can leave your belongings in the dance studio.
• Lose Something? Leave It Behind? I will do my best to retrieve it for you but can’t promise retrieving it. Why? Because I am not the sole renter of the studios in Amsterdam & Den Haag, I only rent the studio for a few hours once a week, so other teachers and students are using the same studio and I can’t guarantee finding your items after a week.
