Any photography or videoing taken of students during class is for personal use only and must not be shared on public forums, such as social media channels. This is for the safety and well-being of each individual student, and to comply with the Privacy Act 1993 regulations. Should you wish to share any photos or videos publicly, please ask the studio for permission first. Please ensure they do not feature any other student or teacher, without their prior permission. This is the responsibility of the individual parent/caregiver. Images and/or video footage of students may be used for studio marketing, website, and social media purposes. Please make us aware, via email, if you do not wish for your child's image to be used.
We will refund or credit any Term Fees paid when: Classes are cancelled by the studio, only if there are no future make up classes. Classes are missed if the timetable is changed, after the beginning of the respective term, and the student is unable to make the new time. Classes are missed if a student has an illness/injury and is no longer able to complete the term, providing the studio is advised immediately of the condition, and a medical certificate is provided. To apply for a refund or credit: Email all information to the studio as soon as possible – please do not wait until a term has ended before requesting a refund or credit. Once a term has ended, no refund or credit applications will be accepted. A refund or credit of Term Fees paid is not possible when: Classes are missed due to the student or parent/caregiver changing their mind. Classes are missed due to personal/family holidays. Students are absent from class due to illness, injury or personal circumstances. Where four (4) or more consecutive classes are missed due to illness or injury, a credit may be provided upon request and review. The studio must have been notified of the estimated period of absence via email, accompanied by a medical certificate.
Taking part in the end of year production is not compulsory, however, is highly recommended. A costume fee will be included in your term four fees. This fee is charged per dance that the student is in, but is capped at a certain level. This fee is a contribution towards any sewing, purchasing, laundering, storage and handling of costumes. You do not get to keep your production costume/s. A production levy will be introduced in term four fees. This levy is a small contribution towards the running costs of production, such as theatre hire, lighting and props. Attendance at production rehearsals is compulsory if performing in our annual production. During theatre rehearsals, your normal class times may vary. A theatre timetable will be provided to all students. Please advise your class teacher as soon as possible if you are unable to attend any rehearsals or shows. All outstanding fees must be paid for in full before commencement of production. Costumes will not be issued to students with outstanding fees. A production guide will be made available to all students at the beginning of term four, to help students and parents/caregivers through our show season.
All students are expected to arrive on time for class, in appropriate attire and footwear. Any damage to studio property will be the individuals financial responsibility. You will also be required to pay for any repairs necessary, as a result of the damage caused. All students and parents/caregivers must show respect towards all studio staff, as well as other students and parents/caregivers, at all times. Any student behaviour deemed inappropriate or disruptive by the teacher, may result in the student being asked to leave the class for the remainder of that lesson. Parents/caregivers are not permitted to sit inside the studio during class time, unless invited in by the teacher. Viewing areas are available at all times. Any issues must be brought to the attention of the Studio Director immediately, via email.
