GET MORE BALLET OUT OF LIFE WITH

TOURS EN L'AIR


for more fabulous escorted vacations for ballet lovers

and information on Katherine's highly popular ballet appreciation courses

We need a minimum of 9 people to sign up for this trip before January 20 . Since we cannot confirm that it will happen until we have our minimum, this is the procedure we recommend:

1) email me to confirm your interest (or, of course, if you have any questions)

2) I will then put you in touch with our travel agent so that you can give her your credit card number for the deposit to be charged to it. We do not process any payments until we are sure we have our minimum numbers, and will alert you when that happens (this could happen in one day, or it could take three weeks). However, we do take your credit card number as a commitment from you that you will go on the trip if the minimum enrollment is reached.

3) Once we have our minimum numbers, I will send you a registration form to fill out with your specific wishes re rooms, extra ballet tickets and so on. We don't like to make people do paperwork if the trip doesn't in fact materialize!

4) Do not make any flight bookings or any other arrangements until we know the trip is a go.
