Due to COVID-19 and Province of Ontario's headcount restrictions, our sliding scale program will be limited to those interested in taking Zoom classes only at this time.
About the program:
We know that taking Bellydance classes is special to so many students and we are so passionate about this art form, we want to share it with everyone who would like to enjoy it with us. In line with BellyUp's inclusion mandate, we are introducing a Sliding Scale Program (SSP) designed to make all our classes accessible to those who might find it financially difficult to attend. BellyUp will have a limited amount of spaces discounted to those with lower incomes.
Here's how it works:
- Contact us to be emailed an application form.
- Complete the form and return it to us at least 4 weeks prior to the start of a new session.
- You may be asked to present proof of income.
- Spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
- You will be notified 3 weeks before the start of the new session if you have been accepted to the SSP.
- Payment is due 1 week prior to your first class to secure your discounted spot in the class.
- Your participation in the SSP is confidential. Other students will not know you are a recipient of the SSP unless
you make it known.
