KIKA ACADEMY – TERMS & CONDITIONS
Welcome to the Kika Academy Family
We are so excited to welcome you to the Kika Academy Family! Our goal is to provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment for all students and families.
To help us maintain this, we ask that all parents and students show respect toward our studio, other students, parents, and teachers at all times.
By enrolling at Kika Academy, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND BEHAVIOUR
At Kika Academy, we do not condone competitive, negative, or toxic behaviour, gossip, or unkind comments - including any actions that make another child, parent, or teacher feel unsafe or unwelcome.
We believe that children thrive when they are surrounded by positive role models and a supportive community.
If a situation arises where these values are not upheld, Kika Academy reserves the right to remove a student and/or parent/guardian from the program to protect the wellbeing of our community.
PAYMENTS & ENROLMENTS
Kika Academy operates in line with the Victorian school terms.
All fees are due upfront and must be paid no later than one week before the term begins, unless a direct debit payment plan has been arranged.
A $25 late fee will apply to any invoices not paid by the due date stated on your invoice.
No refunds or credits will be issued for missed classes or holidays taken during the school term.
Make-up classes may be offered (subject to availability) only in the case of a medical emergency or procedure, but are not guaranteed.
To cancel an enrolment, four weeks’ written notice must be provided via email to:
📧 admin@kikastudios.com.au
MEDIA, FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY
Filming or photography is only permitted during designated “Watch Weeks” or with express permission from staff.
All parents/guardians are required to sign a Media Consent Form upon enrolment.
All Kika Academy teachers and admin staff hold Working With Children Checks and are First Aid and CPR certified.
In the unlikely event of an accident or injury, please note that while our staff will always act promptly and responsibly to assist, Kika Academy cannot be held liable for any injury sustained during classes or events.
PARENT VIEWING & PARTICIPATION POLICY
At Kika Academy, we love having parents involved in their child’s dance journey - especially in the early years.
To ensure our classes remain positive, structured, and supportive learning environments, please note the following guidelines:
KIKA BUBBAS (ages 1–2)
Parents and caregivers are required to actively assist their child throughout the class.
These sessions are designed as shared experiences to help little ones build confidence and connection through movement.
KIKA MINIS (ages 3–4)
Parents are welcome to sit in the class to observe and support their child as they grow in independence.
Please remain seated, quiet, and respectful during class time to minimise distractions.
ALL OTHER AGE GROUPS (ages 5 and above)
Parents are asked to wait in the designated waiting area at the back of the studio.
Please keep noise levels low and avoid entering or interrupting classes.
If a parent’s presence becomes disruptive or distracting, Kika Academy reserves the right to kindly ask them to step out.
Our goal is to create a warm, empowering, and inclusive environment for every child while maintaining the best possible experience for all students.
END OF YEAR SHOWCASE
Our annual End of Year Showcase is one of the highlights of the year — a full production with costumes, lighting, and an audience of family and friends.
It’s a beautiful opportunity for dancers to celebrate their progress and confidence on stage.
Participation is encouraged but not mandatory.
Costume fees and rehearsal schedules will be provided closer to the event date.
If you have any questions, our friendly team is always here to help!
CANCELLATIONS
All class cancellations must be made via the website or Kika App.
Please note that cancellation requests sent via email, SMS, or social media will not be accepted.

Confidence • Creativity • Respect • Excellence • Fun • Inclusivity
Thank You
Thank you for trusting us to be part of your child’s dance journey.
We can’t wait to watch them take their first steps, twirls, and leaps toward their dreams!
