Question 1

Upgrading or downgrading your membership

Accepted Answer

Want to upgrade? Great! Members can upgrade their membership at any time during the contract period. In the event of an upgrade, a new subscription will be created, and the membership benefits associated with the upgraded level will take effect immediately. The upgraded subscription will have its distinct end date.

Want to downgrade? Within the contract period, it is not possible to downgrade your membership. Downgrading is permitted at the expiration of the current contract period. At the end of the contract period, members may choose to renew their subscription at the current level or explore other membership options.

Question 2

How to cancel your membership

Accepted Answer

Cancellation is only possible after completion of the initial contract period. So for example: if you have a 12-month membership, it cannot be canceled after only 4 months. It must finish the full contract period. After the initial contract period, you can cancel anytime. The cancellation of a subscription is effective 30 days after receipt of the request – this means we work with a 1 month notice.

So, to cancel your membership, send an email to info@extremos.nl, one month in advance in order for it to be processed!

Question 3

Can a membership be paused?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can pause your membership! Send us an email at least 1 week before the start of the month in which the pause period is intended to start.

During the contract period, subscribers can pause:
3-month contract: Maximum 7 days.
6-month contract: Maximum 14 days
12-month contract: Maximum 30 days.

After the initial contract, all memberships can be paused for a maximum of 3 months.

But keep in mind, when a membership is paused, the end date will be extended by the duration of the paused period! Cancelation after the pause period still requires a one-month notice in which the membership is active.

Question 4

How do I get a medal

Accepted Answer

To receive a medal for a higher level, it’s essential that you demonstrate the technique and control our instructors require.

If you’d like to move up, you can ask your teachers for advice during the Try-Out week or in your regular weekly classes. Make sure to do this at the beginning of the lesson, so the instructors know they’ll need to evaluate you.

When you’re new to the school, you’ll get a one-week grace period during which you can join classes without having the proper medal. Make sure to ask the teachers to give you the correct medal within that week.

The teachers are fully responsible for awarding medals and will let you know when you’re ready to move on to the next level.

Question 5

Can credits be used for either Salsa or Bachata

Accepted Answer

Credits can be used for every class according to your level. So you can join Salsa and Bachata classes in Amsterdam and Hoorn! This also applies to the Footwork, Body Movement, and Ladies’ Styling lessons.

Question 7

What to wear

Accepted Answer

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident!
Wear something you can move freely in (it’s a dance class, after all 😉) and that makes you feel good.

🧼 A quick reminder: personal hygiene matters — fresh clothes and a little care go a long way when dancing closely with others.

👠 From Improvers level and up, we recommend followers wear dance shoes. They make turning and spinning much easier (and safer!).
