Studio Policies

GENERAL POLICIES

• There are no refunds.

• An hour of instruction equals 45 minutes.

• All private lessons are 45 minutes long. Neither the choice of a teacher nor a private room is guaranteed. Typically, the space is shared with other private lesson students who may be learning other styles of dance and playing other styles of music. Different music may be rotated on an equal and shared basis.

• Only one discount/special may be applied at a time.

PRIVATE LESSON POLICIES

• A Private Lesson guarantees optimal individual attention from an instructor. However, you are NOT guaranteed a private room. Studio is typically shared with other Private Lessons taking place. The music is also shared on an equal basis.
  
• The pricing of Private Lessons is based on one or two students participating. If a lesson has more than two students, it is a Semi-Private. Please ask for Semi-Private Lesson Rates at the Front Desk.
  
• Each lesson is 45 minutes and is by appointment only. It is recommended that you book your lesson at least one week in advance in order to secure your desired day and time. Every lesson must be paid for in ADVANCE. When you arrive for your lesson, please check-in at the front desk first and initial your Private Lesson  to the appropriate date.
  
• To ensure that the instructor of your choice is available, you may schedule a Standing Lesson. A Standing Lesson means you will have the same day and time with your instructor every week. This lends to continuity of learning, as well as a simplified schedule. Standing Lessons can only be made when a student is on a package of four, ten or twenty lessons. If a Standing Lesson is cancelled two or more times within a month, you risk forfeiting your standing day and time.
• There is a 24-hour cancellation policy for all Private Lessons whether you have a Standing Lesson or not. If it becomes necessary to cancel your appointment, we must hear from you at least 24 hours before that lesson in order to avoid charging you for that lesson. If you cancel on the day of your lesson; a lesson will be deducted from your Private Lesson Package. If you purchased a Single Lesson and cancel the day of the booking; that lesson will be charged and you will have to pre-pay for a new lesson.
