Terms and Conditions

General Terms & Conditions
Students enrolling into Border Danceworks are entitled to one free trial to any style. After their free trial, if the student wishes to continue they must complete an enrolment form and pay the full enrolment amount. Receive a 10% discount (for your immediate family) when you enroll in three or more classes.

Term payment must be made in full by the end of week 2, unless a payment plan has been arranged. Students are required to pay for all classes they are enrolled in even if they are unable to attend class. If a student is going to be away for extended periods of time (ie. 4 weeks or more) discounted terms fees may be applied for. These arrangements must be made at the commencement of term and discounts will be at the discretion of the Directors.

Enrolments are valid until the end of each school year and must be cancelled in written form by the end of each term when a student is unable to attend the following term. A Enrolment fee is only required to be paid once per student for the year. The enrolment fee is non-refundable.

Students are required to wear clothing that is appropriate to dance in, eg. Leggings and a t-shirt (no primary/secondary school uniforms). Hair needs to be pulled back neatly. Ballet students must wear a leotard (with optional skirt and stockings) and ballet shoes.
All students enrolled in READY SET DANCE are required to wear the approved Ready Set Dance uniform. Border Danceworks/Ready Set Dance uniforms are available to purchase at the Studio.

All our staff are trained and have undergone their Working with Children Check.
When enrolling your child in Border Danceworks there is a level of physical touching required when correcting a student’s technique or positioning. Border Danceworks staff will treat all students and parents with respect and this is expected in return.

Students are only supervised by the staff of the studio during tuition inside the studio. Appropriate drop-off and collection times must be arranged by the guardian/parent before and after tuition. Waiting areas and carparks are not officially supervised by staff. Whilst all reasonable care is taken, Border Danceworks is not liable for students outside of scheduled classes or the immediate premises. Parents/Guardians are responsible for supervising their children when not in lessons.
