Parent/Guardian/Caregivers must consent to your child participating in classes run by Expressions Dance Company Ltd and that when you are not present you consent to your child being under the care of Expressions Dance Company’s instructors. Students are under supervision during class only and while we aim to provide a safe environment, instructors and staff cannot be responsible for students outside of allocated class times.
Expressions Dance Company aims to provide a safe learning environment to reduce risk of injury. Students and caregivers should recognise that dance does incorporate a certain level of risk. Expressions Dance Company is not liable for any personal injury sustained or loss of property while attending classes. Expressions Dance Company provides qualified and / or experienced teachers who actively promote safe teaching practices and are proficient with our Health and Safety regulations.
To ensure a student’s wellbeing during classes with Expressions Dance Company, medical information must be supplied in the case of any allergies or physical, learning or mental disability.
In the event of an emergency, where a parent / guardian is not present, all effort will be made to contact the caregiver nominated on the registration form. If contact is unsuccessful, parent/guardian/caregivers will allow Expressions Dance Company to take all necessary steps for the proper care and treatment of the student, including, but not limited to seeking professional medical help, taking the student to hospital and calling an ambulance.
Enrolling in a Expressions Dance Company class secures a booking for the whole term. Enrolments are carried over each term, reserving a student’s spot. Notice of withdrawal must be given if a student is not returning to classes for any subsequent terms or full fees will be charged for that term.
Fees are on a per term basis and payment is expected by the date due as shown on the invoice. Late fees will incur a $25 penalty. Failure to pay your fees on time may result in the loss of the enrolment position.
Payment plans are encouraged if anyone would like to set up a plan to pay fees weekly/fortnightly or monthly. Please see Leticia to set this up.
All public holidays are observed. Expressions Dance Company classes run during term time and coincide with the New Zealand primary school term which generally consists of around ten weeks. Our term fees are based on a nine week term, with a minimum of 8 weeks to take public holidays into consideration. No extra fee will be charged in the event that a term is longer (up to and including eleven weeks).
Fees left unpaid at the end of each term may be put in the hands of a debt collector and you will be liable for any additional costs associated with collection and recovery.
Fees are not refundable unless a student is leaving more than halfway through a term. Refunds for students who leave during a term must be asked for in writing to Leticia Wiltshire – Director.
Refunds are not given for students who are absent from class due to illness, injury or personal circumstances or holidays.
