TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As of September 2022
Please read these terms and conditions carefully to ensure that you understand and agree
to them.
LESSONS AND CLASSES
1. Most lessons are only available by paying monthly in advance. The monthly payments are worked out by taking the cost per class, multiplying it by 44 weeks, and dividing by 12 months. This means that the monthly cost will be the same every month unless classes are added or removed by the user. Payment will be made via Direct Debit, except on your first month, where an invoice will be issued. If we cannot collect your Direct Debit we will try again in 3 days. If we are still not able to collect your Direct Debit, an admin charge of £7 will be added. If you need to discuss invoices or payment with us for any reason, then please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
2. Private tuition must be paid for before or at the start of each lesson or class by bank transfer. Alternatively, you can pay online no later than 24 hours after your lesson (Sort Code 60-83-71 Account No 82831710). Please use the students name as a reference. If you arrive late for a lesson, or have to leave early, the full price of your lesson will still be due.
3. If you are unable to attend a private lesson you must give at least 24 hours’ notice. Failure to do so will mean that you will still be billed for that lesson, and no more lessons will take place until the outstanding fee is paid in full.
4. If you regularly attend a class that you pay for by monthly direct debit, there will be no refund given for any class you cannot attend e.g., sickness / holiday. However, exceptional circumstances will be taken into consideration at the principal’s discretion.
5. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are medically fit to take part in a dance class or lesson. If your teacher feels you are not medically fit, you will be asked to leave the dance floor and seek medical advice before returning to a class or lesson. NYD Cymru takes no responsibility for your personal health. If you require an asthma inhaler, then this must be brought into your class or lesson.
6. We operate a drop off only facility. Young students will be collected from the car park before the lesson by a member of staff and returned to parents in the car park at the end of the lesson. We request that older students wait until the start of their lesson before coming into the studios, to ensure that we are keeping staff and students safe. At the end of every year, parents will be able to watch their child’s class either in the studio or via an online meeting, depending on numbers and restrictions.
7. Please turn all mobile phones off or on to silent if you are participating in a class or lesson or watching.
8. No chewing gum or eating of food will be allowed during your class. Please place any rubbish in the bins provided. Water bottles will be allowed as pupils will be allowed a drink in their class.
9. If you wish to speak to your instructor, please do this in your lesson time. Alternatively, you can contact Nikki by phone or email.
10. Price of classes or lessons may be subject to increase; you will be given a month’s notice in this case. Any changes to class or lesson times will be communicated to you via our Facebook group, email, WhatsApp or via our app BAND. Please keep checking our Facebook group.
11. In the event that you wish to cancel classes, NYD Cymru requires 1 month’s notice by either email or text message.
CLOTHING AND SHOES
1. Dance shoes must be in good condition. It is your responsibility to regularly check the heels and soles for general wear and tear issues.
2. Suitable comfortable clothing must be worn to dance, and outerwear such as coats must be removed before dancing.
3. Uniform can be purchased from https://www.enpointdancewear.co.uk/collections/nyd-cymru-dance/NYD. Exam uniform can be ordered through our studios, please speak to Miss Nikki.
4. If trousers are being worn, please ensure that they are no longer than ankle length. This is to ensure your safety and so that your footwork can be seen.
Please note that if the above rules are not adhered to your lesson will not take place but you will be charged in full.
