SPRING SCHEDULE
YOU CAN REGISTER ALONE OR WITH A PARTNER!
AVEC Spring 2022 courses start on Monday Feb 7th!
The courses last for 18 weeks.
There will be break from Thursday April 14th till Monday April 18th!
For Tue/Wed courses, the last classes of the season will be held on June 7th-8th. For Mon/Thu courses, the last classes are on June 13th & 16th.
During the 2022 Spring we have optional partner rotation in the classes.
COUPLE REGISTRATIONS
In order to ensure a better ratio in our partner classes, those that register with a partner can register for their course straight away. If you are already attending a course and planning on coming back you can ask a partner in your current course or in the Avec Family Group on Facebook. Please decide with your partner before attending if you will be taking part in the optional partner rotation, you and your partner can change your decision to rotate or not at any time during the season.
INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS
When registering alone for a partner class you will need to get a waitlist pass. Every week we will add people from the waitlist to a course in pairs in order of registration and allow additional followers/leaders without our ratio limits. Individual registrations always take part in the optional rotation. More details in the waitlist section.

REGISTRATION
At Avec we use Mindbody to manage all our students and courses.
So if you haven’t got an Avec Mindbody account yet please follow these steps to set up your account.
- Click on My Account in our menu bar
- Click on “Create Profile” and fill out all the required details
- In order to speed up the purchase check out process in future, add a debit/credit card. Head to your profile and under account info add a debit/credit card in the payment info section. This is also where you can update it if your card expires. And at any time here you can check your purchase history, passes available on your account, schedule and history.
- Click on the registration button which will take you to our course selection page, remember that for couple courses you will need to enter if you want to dance as a follower or leader during the class.
Additionally:
-
- If you are interested to learn more about the teachers at Avec, the dances, examples of the dances, and our Spotify playlists for each dance we recommend you to check out our, Dances, Levels and Teachers Pages.
1) If you already know other students from your previous classes you would like to train with, don’t hesitate to contact them directly.
2) Make a post about partner search on Facebook groups where you can find hundreds of active dancers. Below you can find a wide list of FB groups you could use for this purpose.
3) If you already have many dancers as Facebook friends, you can also search for a partner in your own profile. There your post will get good visibility in your own circle and reach your current dance friends.
When making the post, it’s good to mention the following things:
👉 which course you want to attend and when it will take place
👉 what is your own level and how much experience you have in that specific style.
Before registering with a potential partner it’s good to discuss together what kind of goals you have for the training so you can make the best out of it, and maybe you can even try out dancing together before the courses start.

We hope that these tips will help you and many of you will find a partner! 😊💃🕺
When you don’t have a partner to register for our partner course you can register for a waitlist spot for each course you would like to attend. We will add followers & leaders to the courses in order of registration, while keeping the follower/leader ratio within our set ratio. You will also take part of the partner rotation in this case. Waitlist fee is 50€/Course.
The full course fee amount will be based on the date you got onto the waitlist. If it is before the Early Bird cutoff date then the Early Bird rate applies. After that date the Normal Course rate applies.
What happens to the waitlist fee?
- If you get accepted to the course the waitlist fee will be deducted from the course fee due.
- If you don’t get accepted we will refund you the waitlist fee.
- If you decide to remove yourself from the waitlist before you get accepted we will refund you the waitlist fee.
- If you decide not to accept the spot you have been already offered, you will waiver your waitlist fee.
You interested in joining the blue/red Salsa on2 course but only have experience dancing Salsa on1 or Cuban Salsa, no worries we have you covered. We have a fast track transition Bootcamp taking place December 4-5 which will give you a solid foundation doing all the basic moves on2. This bootcamp is not for beginners and assumers you have been dancing salsa at least 1 year. If you have already registered for the Spring Blue/Red course you will receive 50% off on the transition bootcamp. We highly recommend this bootcamp, even if you have been dancing on2 already and want to improve your foundations.
If you have been dancing Salsa on1 or Cuban Salsa and want to transition a bit slower you can just join our beginner Salsa course.

WAITLIST REGISTRATION
IMPORTANT INFO
If you are absent from the course for any reason,
- We will automatically reimburse you for a maximum of three absences as recovery passes (a 25 €) at the end of the season. These passes can be used at the special dance week we have at the end of season.
- Or you can get someone to replace you so your partner still gets to dance during that class. You can arrange this how you like with the substitute.
If we have to cancel classes on behalf of Avec and cannot recover them before our summer break, we will email all participants instructions for compensation and reimbursement.
At the moment the corona pass is not available as an instrument to circumvent restrictions, so no corona pass is required at Avec. If our courses would come under some restrictions and we either need to cancel classes or require corona passes, we will require corona passes. Not having a corona pass will not be a reason for refunds in those circumstances.
