ACADEMY RULES

ENROLMENT OF NEW PUPILS – Payment for 4 trial lessons is £14.00. The remainder of the term’s fees will be due after 4 lessons.

PAYMENT OF FEES – All fees are payable in advance and are not refundable.

UNIFORM – Regulation uniform should be worn in all classes. Uniform can be ordered through the academy – please ask for an order form from your teacher. Hair must be tied back at all times (preferably in a bun for ballet). Jewellery must not be worn – this includes watches.

Although every care is taken during class, the academy can take no responsibility for any injuries that may occur. The Academy is not responsible for any child except for during their class times. Pupils must wait to be collected inside and must not leave the premises alone. Valuables such as purses and watches must not be left unattended, as the academy cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred.

As Dancing uses major muscle groups, you can expect your child's body to develop in different ways to which they have been. This is completely natural and healthy, and will benefit your child enormously. To ensure these muscle groups are used and worked properly, your child’s teacher may have to use physical contact with your child. This will ensure injury does not occur and muscles develop correctly.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE ACADEMY – Dancing classes can only be terminated by giving 6 weeks notice in writing by parents wishing to withdraw a pupil from the academy (or discontinuance of an extra subject). Should any pupil be withdrawn without such notice being given, it is part of the contract between the Principals and the parents that the parents shall pay 6 weeks fees for such withdrawal, in addition to the fees for the current term.

Please try and ensure that your child has visited the toilet before class, as trips to the toilets during class time cannot be supervised.

Opportunities will be provided at various times to view children’s progress, such as a show, which will be put on in a theatre in which all children can perform. During this show your children will be videoed and/or photographed, these photos may be used in advertising, by signing and returning the enrolement form you are agreeing to all the points afore mentioned.
