We pride ourselves in providing a high level of customer service and ensuring that you are clear in respect of all of your rights relating to your purchase. Ahead of making any purchase, you will be asked to tick a box on our Site which says “I Accept the Terms and Conditions”. In ticking that box, you will be accepting the terms set out here.

We are based in the UK and our Terms of Purchase are governed by UK legislation.

The Terms of Use for our Site and our Privacy Statement can be found on separate pages.

It is always our aim that you will be fully satisfied with your purchase. Should you have any questions about your purchase we will be happy to assist.

2: Purchase Terms for Classes
We offer a wide range of in-person dance classes.

Please ensure that you have booked a trial class via our Class Manager System or you are enrolled in a class before attending. You receive one free trial class. Upon enrolment, you are charged a one-month registration fee which covers the first months' classes and administrative costs.

Please ensure you arrive at the class at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the class so that any modifications can be discussed and so that you can obtain key information about the class prior to starting.

Anyone attending later than ten minutes after the start time will not be permitted entry to the class for their own safety and for the safety of, and to preserve the enjoyment of, other attendees. Fees for classes when there is late attendance will be forfeited.

Before taking part in any of our classes you must ensure that you or your child is wearing suitable clothing including their dance uniform & dance shoes (For a trial class we recommend t-shirt, trousers/leggings, and trainers) and you are free from injury and in good health. If you are new to exercise or you are recently returning from injury, illness or pregnancy, you must speak to a health professional prior to starting any dance class.

If you or your child have any health concerns, injuries or longstanding medical conditions you must notify the instructor at the beginning of the class and follow the modifications advised throughout the class.

If at any point during the class you feel unwell or light-headed you must stop exercising immediately and request assistance.

Classes are paid by Recurring Charges to your Debit/Credit Card (acting like a Direct Debit) on the 30th of each month. (if this date is not suitable please contact us)

Fees are for 38 weeks of dance tuition; this is split into 12 equal monthly payments. This means fees will remain the same each month, including over the holidays.

We ask for your card details to be added to the secure class manager system before your first recurring payment. If this is not completed in time, then an invoice will be sent manually and a £5 administration charge will be added.

If a monthly payment fails, we will attempt to take payment 3 days later. If payment is not received after 7 days of its due date, then a Late Payment Fee of £10 will be added to an invoice. This is due to extra administration duties & expenses.

If fees remain unpaid, the student will be unable to attend classes until payment has been made.  Please contact us immediately if you are unable to make the monthly payment.

If payment is excessively late and we have had no communication we have the right to consult and employ a debt agency to recover any outstanding payments.

Sibling Discount is applied if family members pay from the same customer account.

Payments are non-refundable.

If your child misses a class, the class fee is non-refundable.

If we have to cancel a class and we provide an alternative whether another day/time or online learning, fees will be due as normal. No refund will be given. 

All fees include VAT and are subject to a 5% platform fee.

Please be aware that should you wish to stop attending classes, we need a month’s notice in writing by email to [email protected]. Once notice is given, you will calculate the date of the last class you can attend and if any further monies are outstanding.  This notice period allows us to ensure that the classes are kept to the correct number to create the best experience for our students and to allow for us to ensure that appropriate teaching and teaching support is provided.
