This is part of your agreement when joining the Felicity White School of Dance Ltd. Membership is open to all subject to the following conditions:

The parent/guardian agrees to pay fees on a termly basis by bank transfer. Cheques or cash no longer accepted. Fees are due within 21 days of invoice date. The Felicity White School of Dance Ltd is under no obligation to provide any refund of fees for any time the dancer is not in attendance.

In the event of any amounts not being paid in accordance with these terms, the Felicity White School of Dance Ltd has the right to refuse to teach the student until all outstanding amounts are paid. Late fees of £10 per will be added per week overdue, and your student will be asked to sit out until fees are paid. 

One months notice in writing must be given if you wish to terminate classes within the school. If less notice is given, one months fees (4 weeks) will still be payable.

*No refunds will be issued if you decide to leave the school – clarification as of 3/9/25

Refunds will only be given in the event of illness or injury preventing attendance at classes for a sustained period of time, usually half a term or more.

 

Uniform:

This is basic but essential and gives the students a sense of belonging, allowing all to feel equal, healthy and safe and a sense of dressing for something important – their class. Ballet shoes must have attached elastics; tap shoes must be black, have an appropriate heel size and laces/elastic; regulation RAD uniform must be worn for ballet classes and exams. Shoes, tights and socks may be bought at any dance shop, all other uniform must be purchased via the online shop. Hair must be tied up and in  bun for ballet classes.

 Parents/Guardians in class:

Parents/guardians are not permitted to watch classes except when invited for ‘Watching Weeks.’

*If a child is new or particularly unconfident, parents/carers may be allowed to sit in for the first 3 weeks at the teachers discretion. The only exception is for Parent & Toddler Class – one adult per toddler - clarification as of 3/9/25

 

Behaviour:

Racist, sexist and other offensive language and behaviour is not tolerated, and we reserve the right to terminate membership without notice, the final decision being undertaken by the Board of Directors. Behaviour of staff, parents and students must always follow our code-of-conduct.

Please note that under no circumstances are pets allowed into the hall due to Health and Safety reasons.

Chewing gum and fizzy drinks are strictly forbidden on the premises. No food is to be eaten in classes. Filled water bottles must be brought in a named bottle.

 

Attendance:

Students must arrive and be collected promptly. It is very important that children arrive in time for their classes, preferably 5 minutes before the start. This allows the group time to settle from the moment the class starts. Latecomers will have to wait outside until an appropriate time to join the class. Children arriving after 15 minutes may be refused admission, as this may disrupt the professional attitude to classes we aim to foster. Where possible Felicity White School of Dance Ltd will aim to let people know of any changes in venue or class time at least one week ahead of schedule.

 

Absence: 

Class numbers are limited, and many have waiting lists, so good attendance and commitment to the class is essential. Students on the waiting list will be contacted in order of the list. If students are unavailable the next member will be contacted and the first to return contact will receive the place.

 

Illness/Injury:

Parents are not to allow their child to attend Felicity White School of Dance Ltd if they are feeling unwell or have a known injury which would prevent a student from fully taking part. This includes presenting any contagious illness including (but not limited to): Chicken Pox, Head Lice, Flu and, as of March 2020, symptoms of COVID-19.

 

By signing up for classes at Felicity White School of Dance Ltd I agree to all the terms and conditions of the agreement. I understand that no refunds will be issued for missed classes and one months notice must be given for terminating classes within the school.
