Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Please find below our full terms and conditions. By completing and signing the registration form to enrol your child with the dance school, you are hereby agreeing to the terms and conditions detailed below.

Any child currently enrolled with the school who has not signed our new registration form is also bound to these terms and conditions by them continuing to attend classes. As a matter of courtesy please advise if your child takes additional dance classes. Simply Dance is not liable for any injury related to dance if classes are taken elsewhere.

Payment

All payments are done through ‘Stripe’. We use a booking system called Class4Kids.

This is a monthly subscription that comes out on the 1st of every month. We do not run classes through half terms and the summer school holiday, these weeks have been totalled up and ARE NOT included in your yearly payment. Your yearly payment is spread across 12 months. 

Uniform

Please can all children come in appropriate, comfy dance wear including the correct shoes for different styles. E.g. ballet shoes, tap shoes and trainers. No jewellery and hair needs to be tied back.

For Ballet Shoes, Tap Shoes, Jazz Shoes etc please order online at Dance Direct or Move Dancewear.

If you would like to purchase any of our uniform please inform the principal. The principal orders uniform at the end of each month. 

All children will need to bring a water bottle and required medication e.g. inhaler. 

Termination of Classes

If a pupil wishes to leave, Simply Dance must receive a 30 day verbal or written notice. After the 30 day period, the principal will cancel your subscription. Payments automatically go out on the 1st of every month and cannot be changed, this is due to the payment system we have in place. No parent should be cancelling their subscriptions without speaking to the principal first. If a parent does cancel without a reason then Simply Dance will ask for the 30 day notice payment, which will need to be paid via bank transfer. 

Absence of notice or late notice for exceptional circumstances will be addressed on an individual basis.

In the event of a pupil leaving Simply Dance with fees still outstanding, Simply Dance reserves the right to pursue recovery of the debt by all legal means including court action.

Cancellation of Classes 

When this occurs Simply Dance will try to notify parents by giving them as much notice as possible via the Facebook page, text, phone, email or word of mouth.

Simply Dance will try and find qualified cover teachers. 

We reserve the right to cancel any classes any time up to and including the date the class starts. A refund will be made.

Miscellaneous 

All teachers are qualified, DBS checked and insured. However, due to the nature of teaching dance, sometimes it is necessary to correct positions physically. This is always conducted with care and professionalism.

The safeguarding of children is of paramount importance. No child will be allowed to leave any premises unless a parent is there to collect them UNLESS the principal has been informed in writing by a parent or guardian that alternative arrangements are in place, i.e. a child can walk home alone. If any parent has a concern regarding safeguarding then please inform the principal immediately so that it can be rectified.

Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be announced on the Facebook page, text or email.
