Contact the El Puntazo team to finalize your reservation.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can also opt for the &#8220;single class&#8221; format (see PACKS section), but in this case, your reservation is only valid for that specific day. If you choose this option, remember to check availability weekly and confirm your daily reservation by sending a Bizum payment for the class before 2:00 PM.<\/p>\n<p>If you are new, to reserve your spot, you will need to fill out the form you received when contacting us and then pay for your trial class. If you decide to enroll for the full month afterward, the trial class fee will be deducted from the total.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cancellation Policy:<\/strong> If you have already confirmed your spot, you can cancel your reservation up until 2:00 PM on the day of your class. If you cancel after this time or do not show up, it will be considered a &#8220;no show,&#8221; and you will not be able to make up the class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>ATTIRE, FOOTWEAR, AND HYGIENE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For classes, you don&#8217;t need any specific clothing; the most important thing is to feel comfortable and be able to move freely.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding footwear, if you have Tango, Latin dance, or ballroom shoes, bring them. If not, don&#8217;t worry. To start, you can use shoes with leather or suede soles, and for women, a bit of a heel is recommended. Sneakers, rubber-soled shoes, boots, and ankle boots are not ideal as they prevent proper sliding. However, if rubber-soled shoes are all you have, it&#8217;s fine at the beginning. In time, I can guide you on where to buy proper shoes, or suggest second-hand options if you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>For class, use clean shoes that haven\u2019t been worn outside or that you\u2019ve disinfected before coming. You&#8217;ll need to remove your outdoor shoes and change into your dance shoes before entering the studio.<\/p>\n<p>Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance, or you can wash your hands with natural soap in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember, Tango is a partner dance, and we are in close contact with our partner. Impeccable hygiene is essential so everyone can enjoy the class.<\/strong> If you\u2019re not coming directly from home, it\u2019s a good idea to bring deodorant, foot powder, and mouthwash or gum. Your partner will appreciate it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAYMENT METHODS<\/strong><strong>\u00a0AND\u00a0<\/strong><strong>PRICING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on your needs and preferences, you can choose between three different payment options:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Single Class<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Pay per class, which can also serve as a trial class. I recommend this option if you&#8217;re unable to attend regularly. The single class fee must be paid via Bizum or bank transfer before 2:00 PM on the day of the class.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Monthly Pass<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Paid at the beginning of the month, it is valid until the last business day of that same calendar month. You can use the number of classes chosen according to your study plan and the teaching weeks on the calendar (see PACKS &amp; PRICES 2025-2026).<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this option to secure your spot for the entire month and motivate you to attend regularly, helping you learn faster!<\/p>\n<p>The monthly pass can be paid 50% when reserving your spot and 50% in cash on the first day of class, or if you prefer, via Bizum or bank transfer. If you&#8217;ve paid for a trial class and then decide to sign up for the month, you\u2019ll only need to pay the difference.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Quarterly Pass<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Paid 50% when reserving your spot and 50% when classes begin, it is valid until the last business day of the third month. (Example: if you start on February 1, your pass is valid until April 30). You can use the number of classes you choose based on your study plan and the teaching weeks on the calendar. If you start mid-month (e.g., February 15), you have until the end of April to use all the classes included in your selected package.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this option to motivate you to stay consistent and enjoy a longer period to use or make up your classes, along with a discount on your monthly rate as a reward for your commitment!<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The quarterly pass can be paid 50% when reserving your spot and 50% in cash on the first day of class, or if you prefer, via Bizum or bank transfer. If you paid for a trial class and then decide to sign up for the quarter, you&#8217;ll only need to pay the difference.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Should you have further questions, doubt, or suggestion, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team!
