Scholarship information
We are pleased to announce the initial offering of our Barre teacher training full scholarship. For one individual, all costs of the training program will be paid in full on behalf of re:form GbR and BECYCLE Berlin. This scholarship is intended to remove the primary financial barrier to becoming a movement instructor for a member of the community whose voice we feel moved to amplify. On page one of our manual, the pillars of our method are listed. Among them is “inclusive and non-judgmental environment.” We believe that this cannot be fully realized without active intent to diversify our community from the inside out. In this context, we view diversity as the expression of a range of economic, ethnic, cultural, spiritual, and otherwise nuanced identities.
Movement is an essential practice for everybody, and we believe that every body should find resonance in the voice of an instructor they can identify with.
For more information please use the below form and we will send further details.
the fine print (T’s and C’s)
Payment: a non-refundable 500€ deposit is due upon registration. Tuition remainder can be paid in one or two installments, and is due by September 6, 2024 (three weeks before the start of the AMA module). Payment is available by bank transfer only.
