Please be aware that dance is a form of art that sometimes requires 'hands on' tutoring to enable students to create the correct movements and positioning. This is always conducted with the upmost professionalism.

​

Parents are not permitted in the studio whilst classes are running. If your child has to be assisted for medical reasons, they will need to be accompanied by a medical professional.

​

Photo and video footage containing your child may be used for our website, social media, press, marketing, promotional purposes or as a learning tool. By signing our registration form, you understand that you are consenting for your child to be a part of this.

For health and safety reasons, pointe class is by invitation only.

​

You are entitled to a free trial lesson in any class suitable for your child's age. Should you then choose to enrol, fees are charged in advance in blocks of 10 weeks. Fees must be paid within 14 days of your invoice, otherwise a 10% surcharge will be incurred. If your child is unable to attend a lesson, the fees will not be refunded. We require half a term's notice (5 weeks) should you decide to stop taking lessons. If you do not give notice, 5 weeks worth of fees will be charged. This notice period will be waived if you decide to withdraw within the first five weeks of joining.

Please note - notice does not include holidays.

​

We may, in extreme circumstances, have to hold some of our classes online (e.g. during a pandemic). Attending online classes is as compulsory as attending classes in the studio.

​

If a lesson has to be cancelled at our request (e.g. staffing issues/sickness, venue availability), we will wherever possible arrange for a substitute lesson and no refund will be given.

If the class cannot be held at another time, a refund will be issued.

​

In case of treacherous weather conditions beyond our control (e.g. heatwave, flooding, snow and ice), we may need to cancel a session for health and safety reasons and you will not be refunded. We will, however, reschedule any cancelled classes where possible.

​

Please collect your child/children from within the building. We ask that no children wait in the car parks. If you wish for your child to walk home unaccompanied, we require parental/caregiver's permission. 

Please remember students remain the responsibility of their parents/caregivers outside of their lesson time.
