Since it would be difficult for me to stay alone in a hotel for 8 days and prepare my own meals, would it be better if I stay with my parents as well?
A.
Since you will be on your own in the mornings, we recommend that you book a plan that includes breakfast at the hotel. Lunch and dinner will be taken at the venue with our staff. If you are still concerned, please bring your parents with you.
Q.
I can't make a chignon by myself.
A.
There is still time before August, so please practice making it by yourself as much as possible. If you have difficulty, our staff will assist you on site.
Q.
How should I do my laundry?
A.
Group A hotels have washing machines, so please do your own laundry with the assistance of our staff.
If you are concerned, please bring a change of clothes for 7 days.
Q.
Can I check in after the lesson on the first day?
A.
Yes, it is possible. Please inform the hotel of your check-in time.
Q.
I changed the hotel I reserved after reporting. What should I do?
A.
Please report it again using the Hotel Reservation Status Report Form.
Q.
Is it possible for children 9 years old and up to participate in the tour?
A.
It is possible to participate as long as you are at a level where you can have lessons with a 10 year old, and if you are participating alone, you are ready for ballet on your own.
Q.
I am in Group B, but I am worried about having her stay alone.
A.
It is possible for them to stay in the same hotel as Group A. Please consult with us.
