I consent to Jeanette Briggs Dance Academy using photographs, video and digital recording and using these in any medium including website, brochures or for marketing purposes.
We understand that some parents/carers cannot or would not like to have their childs photo displayed on social media or other advertising and we totally understand and support this. While we do our absolute best to honour these requests and exclude them from any planned content, please understand that due to the group nature of events and the volume of students involved, there may be occasions where they are inadvertently included in a wider shot or group photo.
By attending JBDA events and classes, you acknowledge that while we make every reasonable effort to respect your wishes, JBDA cannot accept liability for any accidental appearances on social media and is indemnified against any future claims arising from such instances.We kindly ask that you keep an eye on our social media channels, and if you do happen to notice an image that includes your children, please reach out to us immediately. We’ll be more than happy to remove it promptly.
JBDA requires two weeks written notice if your child is going to cease classes with JBDA or change classes.
Although due care is taken with all students, Jeanette Briggs Dance Academy does not take responsibility for any injury incurred.
No responsibility is taken for students whilst they are not in class. It is the parent/carers responsibility to supervise their child when they are not in a class.
Siblings of JBDA students who are not taking classes are not to be left unsupervised at any time. No responsibility is taken for siblings,family members or friends of students.
All families must register for direct debit. You are must make sure your account can accept direct debits and there is enough money in your account to cover direct debits. If your direct debit fails Jeanette Briggs Dance Academy will continue to debit your account without notice until any outstanding balance is paid. If your direct debit fails you are liable for all resulting fees.
Students are not allowed to participate in any concert, exam or performance if fees are owing and overdue. Students in arrears of 4 weeks are not able to participate in any class until their account is up to date. Families will incur any fees and charges incurred whilst trying to recover their debit.
Newsletters are distributed via email. Read these to keep up to date with what is happening and so your child doesnt miss any opportunities. Check our facebook page weekly to check what is happening.
There are no classes held on public holidays. Students who have a class on a public holiday are required to attend an alternate catch up class on the week of the public holiday (except private lessons). Choose a class that is one grade lower or higher than their current grade.
Refunds cannot be given.
It is recommended students attend all classes (except if they are sick). If they are injured please let us know and bring them to class so they can watch and still learn. To reach full potential in class, a student must attend on a consistent basis. Fees are payable even if your child is absent from class. No fees are payable if your child is hospitalised and provides a doctors certificate.
Students are required to arrive 10 minutes prior to your class start time to prepare for class and be picked up promptly at class finishing time.
All students are required to wear JBDA uniform and dance shoes and hair tied back in ponytail or bun. Details of uniform and shoe requirements for each style of class are detailed in the Jeanette Briggs Dance Academy Information Booklet.
Students who wish to perform as a soloist in eisteddfods or any other performance or event are required to be a Jeanette Briggs Dance Academy Performance Troupe member. Troupe commitments (events) take priority over Solos performances or events for any clash in performances.
For safety reasons -No jewellery such as dangly earrings, watches, bracelets, necklaces or large rings to be worn in class.
Students are not to wear jumpers, jackets or T Shirts (with the exception of hip hop) to class as this makes it difficult to correct posture and stance. In the cooler months students are to wear a black crossover, available at Best & Less, Target and dance shops or a tight skivvy under dance uniform.
Food & Drink are not permitted in class (except for water). Please bring water into class to keep hydrated.
