TERMS & CONDITIONS

N.B. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT AMOUNT IS PAID ON TIME OR PLACES CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.

All classes that are missed must be paid for or places will be lost. Please note that specialist grades will now be charged at a fixed price no matter how many classes, like most institutions, as they are small classes and vocational. Please therefore adjust prices accordingly. The difference in pricing reflects the number of pupils in the class, venue fee and teacher taking the class. We reserve the right to adjust pricing if numbers in a class reduce at any point. We reserve the right to cancel or change class times at any point. Please note that should there be any disruption to autumn classes due to coronavirus, classes will be made up at the next possible opportunity either virtually or through physical classes when it is safe to do so. NO refunds will be given.

Fees per individual student - PLEASE NOTE THAT IF ANY CLASS IS SPECIALIST (VOCATIONAL) THEN ANY OTHER SUBSEQUENT CLASS(ES) BOOKED WILL BE CHARGED USING THE NEXT PRICE DOWN THE LIST AND MULTIPLIED BY 12. INTRODUCTORY/SPECIALIST (VOCATIONAL) CLASSES ARE PRICED SEPARATELY AND MUST NOT BE ADDED TO THE PRICES. ALL SPECIALIST (VOCATIONAL) CLASS COSTINGS ARE SUBJECT TO THE TEACHER, VENUE AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN CLASS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PRICES WILL BE DIFFERENT AND DEPENDENT ON VENUE FEES, THE TEACHER TAKING THE LESSON AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS.

 1.      Please note: extra classes, like examination or coaching classes must be paid for prior to the class.

2.      Please note: Exams are not applicable to all pupils and Karen Forbes School of Dance reserves the right to withdraw and/or enter pupils at their discretion at any stage. 

3.      Please note there will be no refunds under any circumstances – make up classes will be offered where necessary.

4.      Children who miss class will not be able to make them up, unless by prior arrangement and at the weekly class fee.

5.      Existing pupils please note that should their booking and payment not be presented by the closing date, their places will be lost.

6.      Neither the school (Karen Forbes School of Dance) nor the hall will be liable for the loss or damage of any property belonging to the pupils.

7.      Parents and Guardians of children under the age of five are requested to remain on the premises i.e. in the corridor or in the room,

in case they are needed during class.

8.      As is the case in any dance class, physical contact from teachers with pupils is an essential part of the lesson in order to rectify posture.

9.      If any unforeseen circumstances arise causing a class to be cancelled or the venue to be changed, a suitable alternative class will be arranged at my discretion and no refunds will be offered.

10.   Discounted prices are only available if classes are booked in advance by the appropriate date.

11.   Any student wishing to attend external auditions must obtain prior consent from Karen Forbes or they may lose their place in the school.

12.   Karen Forbes School of Dance reserves the right to refuse application to pupils or remove pupils from the school at my discretion.

13.   If a pupil has an injury, even if sustained elsewhere, the school must be informed so that we can take appropriate precautions.

14.   Whilst every effort is made to keep children safe when dancing injuries can still be sustained, like they can occur in any area of exercise, and neither the school (Karen Forbes School of Dance), individual teacher or the hall will be liable for injuries sustained during classes.

15.   Pointe Work: for students undertaking Pointe Work we must stress this must only be undertaken with the supervision of the teacher and never outside the class.
