Courses
CampusSport offers short courses with separate fees every semester. You can attend the courses without paying the CampusSport sports fee, in case you do not want to use other CampusSport services.
You can enrol in the courses by paying the course fee at the online store of CampusSport. Please note that everyone has to make the enrolment and pay the course fee personally. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the course will be cancelled and the paid course fees returned. The participants will get a verification on whether the course will take place at the latest three working days before the course starts. Course enrolments are binding and they cannot be cancelled. Course fees are reimbursed only in cases of illness against a medical certificate in case the customer misses more than half of the course meetings.

In this course we learn the basic exercises of ballet on the bar, floor and by moving around the space.
