PAYMENT - Main School
1) After your trial, classes are paid via a monthly membership. Paid-for spaces will be given priority. The price is calculated by the average number of classes in the year and remains the same each month, regardless of how many classes are in that month. (On average each monthly payment covers 3.5 weeks of classes). Payment will leave your account on the first of every month, with no payment in August. Any classes your child misses due to illness or other commitments, will not be eligible for a refund, but students can attend a make-up class throughout the month if arranged with Atomic Dance.
3) 2 weeks' notice is required to withdraw from classes.
4) Notice must be given to Atomic Dance by email ([email protected]) at least 2 weeks before your next payment is due. If you notify them after this date, your next month's payment will still be processed before the membership is cancelled. Your child is able to keep attending classes until your membership ends.
During your notice period, your child can attend any sessions they choose, provided there is space in the class. This is in the hope that they find an alternative class they prefer, instead of leaving Atomic Dance permanently.
5) If there are any sessions missed due to cancellations by Atomic Dance, we will offer a make-up session, or a refund will be sent
6) Payments are taken automatically via stripe. In the event that your card is declined, another attempt will be made. If your class payment is not made by month's end, Atomic Dance may refuse class entry until it is sorted.

2) If your child would like to withdraw from classes after signing up for the term, we require 2 weeks' notice via email. A refund will be given for the rest of the term, bar the notice period.
3) Bookings are only to cover the current term, if your child wants to continue the next term, you need to rebook them on the class.
