North West Dance Studios Mission Statement:

Our mission is to improve and enhance self confidence in children and adults with a growth mindset, not only for dancing but for the rest of their lives. We aim to provide professional yet exciting dance classes to encourage not only confidence but to enhance performance skills and teach the correct technique in a friendly and non-competitive atmosphere.

•       You must declare if you do not want your child to be photographed for marketing use, and keep us up-to-date should this change using the given email address or phone number.

•       A new student may take a free trial class. Should the student then decide to join the class, the remaining balance for the half term must be paid in advance and before the remaining sessions take place.

•       Payments will be returned if a class has to be cancelled due to minimum numbers not being achieved.

•       If the regular teacher is unable to teach a class we will do our best to provide a substitute teacher or make up class.

In this case fees will be subtracted from the forthcoming months fees.

•       We don't issue refunds for missed sessions due to your own circumstances If a student is a "no show" for an event or a show which has already been paid for, no refunds will be given unless not showing up has happened due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case, a meeting between Lynne Greatorex and the parent(s)/guardian(s) may be organised if necessary. Refunds can then be discussed, and a conclusion will be made.

Covid-19

•       Any classes missed due to children having to isolate will not be refunded. Instead, where possible, live classes will be recorded and sent through via email for students to take their classes at home in their own time. Arrangements may be made where students are unable to make a whole half term.

•       In the case of a lockdown, the remainder of classes paid for will either be taken online via Zoom or classes will be recorded and emailed through. No refunds will be given.

•       If your child(ren) have to isolate from school they must isolate from dance. Please inform Lynne Greatorex.

• Anyone with any symptoms will be sent home immediately.
