POLICIES
Safe Spaces Policy We want our community to be a safe and inclusive place for everyone. A place that has empathy, kindness, honesty and assumes goodwill. We have zero tolerance on any inappropriate behaviour. Read more about our Code of Conduct and safety procedures. Cancellations and Refunds CLASSES Generally, for pay-at-the-door classes, there is no refund available. However, we can be flexible if, for example, you are suddenly called away or taken ill within the first 10 minutes of a one hour class. Please chat to the teacher or door person. WORKSHOPS and BALLS: Some of our venues have a fixed capacity so we close off places for participants at a set point. For this reason, cancellations and refunds are not possible without 24 hours notice as we may have turned away other dancers. Thanks for understanding. Where applicable, a full or partial refund (less administration fee) may be available up to close of registrations. Contact [email protected] After close of registration, no refunds will be issued. Transfers, where applicable, may incur an administration fee. We are pretty friendly and approachable so send an email and hopefully we can assist you! FESTIVALS: Cancellation and refund policies are listed on the dedicated webpages for our various festivals. Broadly, full refunds (less administration fee) are available up to a few weeks before the event; 50% refund available two weeks before the event; no refunds after close of registration.
