learn to dance DETAILS

After you’ve purchased this package simply reach out to us via Facebook Messenger.

We will send you an online calendar that our magical dance bots can use to easily orchestrate a time for you to begin with your teacher.

We won’t take any Private Lesson bookings without payment first so make sure you have your package purchased.

Easy! 

Simply visit our website and look for the Adult Starter Group Classes.

Then register both of you under the PRE-PAID 8-Dance Card option. It’s the free one, as you’ve already paid.

The Cards will be clipped off for the entire month and given to you at the first class.

Please note classes are registered for the entire month upfront due to capacity numbers.

ONLY 1 CARD CAN BE USED PER PERSON.

When you buy an 8-Dance Card you’re saving $25 effectively pre-purchasing 8 classes for the price of 7!

This means you get 1 FREE class each time you buy a card.

Each time you want to attend a class you’ll need to register online but if you HAVE a card or WILL buy one please select the PRE-PAID OPTION.

I HAVE AN 8-DANCE CARD ALREADY, WHAT DO I DO?

Choose the ticket type PRE-PAID [8-Dance Card] option at checkout [NO CHARGE]. 

We will stamp your card for the full amount of classes for that month when you come in.

You must bring your valid 8-dance card with you.

MY 8-DANCE CARD DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH REMAINING ON IT, WHAT DO I DO?

You have two main options:

Buy a new card now, and collect it in the studio in the first class.

Use the PRE-PAID [8-Dance Card] option and then pay CASH for a new card or the difference between what you have on your card and the remaining classes for the month.

Ballroom dancing is still a class act but without the stuffiness of yesteryear.

You’re welcome to dress up to your heart’s content and you really wouldn’t be out of place. 

However, you can also choose to dress in your own style think smart casual, after work, cocktail, or after 5-attire.

RECOMMENDED WEAR:

• Skirt [dresses help show the movement of dance] 
• Dress
• Blouse
• Buttoned shirt
• Enclosed low or high heeled shoes 

NOT RECOMMENDED WEAR:

• Shorts, Jeans
• Sneakers, thongs, sandals
• Gym wear

We can’t allow anyone to dance in bare feet.

You don’t need to buy proper dance shoes but if you end up enjoying dancing and join the Improver or Medal class it’s recommended then.

We highly encourage men to take pride in their appearance and to dress well, look and smell good out of respect for their partners and the art.

REFUND POLICY FOR ALL CLASSES & LESSONS:

No refunds. No transfers. No credits.

If you miss any class or lesson unfortunately we cannot issue you a refund, transfer, or credit unless it is a special circumstance.

We take bookings ahead of time and you’re taking the position of another person plus we factor the expenses within all bookings so it’s unfeasible to factor refunds or transfers or credits unless it is granted by the studio operators.

As we are the largest Ballroom studio in Canberra we come into contact with many members of the public throughout the week.

YOUR HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY.

GROUP CLASSES AND LESSONS: 

We never force people to dance with other people, however, we recognize that life must go on and it’s totally fine for students to dance with students and partners to dance with partners.

However, we do not advise teachers to dance with students yet in Group Classes due to the number of people we come into contact with. 

If you do Private Lessons our teachers are not paid to risk their health and it’s their right to choose how much personal contact and how much physical dancing to do with a student.

After all, a healthy student + a healthy teacher means more dancing for longer, overall and that is the win!

We hope you understand it’s for the overall greater good as being sick, it really sucks!

As we have a strict no refund policy in place we have devised a 4 Stage Dance Plan should any lock-downs, sickness or teachers become unavailable.

STAGE 1: FILL-IN

This one is easy. One of our experienced teachers will step in and the class will continue as usual.

STAGE 2: RESCHEDULE

We will simply move the class to another start date, preferably the same time and day just in the future, you will be notified by email immediately if this happens.

STAGE 3: MAKEUP CLASS

If we can’t reschedule the class then we will make a separate class as a make-up where it makes sense to do so.

STAGE 4: ONLINE [the show must go on!]

If we can’t get a Fill-in or we can’t Reschedule or we can’t logically orchestrate a Makeup Class then, thankfully, we have a high-end production studio we use to broadcast lessons to thousands of dancers across the world we will use.

EXAMPLE: If we are halfway through the month of lessons you’ve paid for and we went into lockdown or teachers were sick [and the above couldn’t happen] we will host our class ONLINE at the same time and day where possible.

You would be notified with a specific login and link to the class and if you couldn’t attend live the replay will be accessible for 7-days.

WE HAVE YOU COVERED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS – WE WILL DANCE!

Note: If the tectonic plates of the earth’s crust decided to open up and swallow us all and we couldn’t do any of the 4 stages we would absolutely issue refunds on the unused classes.

We honor commitment so by signing up you’re committing to ALL classes above otherwise, you are taking the spot of someone else for that class. We can’t offer refunds, credits or transfers for any missed classes.

If you have an emergency or pressing issue then contact us and we may be able to work out a suitable class transfer.

REFUND POLICY FOR ALL CLASSES & LESSONS:

No refunds. No transfers. No credits.

If you miss any class unfortunately we cannot issue you a refund, transfer, or credit unless it is a special circumstance.

We take bookings ahead of time and you’re taking the position of another person plus we factor the expenses within all bookings so it’s unfeasible to factor refunds or transfers or credits unless it is granted by the studio operators.

WEDDING POLICY:

Please remember we have a 24-hour cancellation policy in effect for all Private and Wedding dance lessons.

If you need to reschedule or cancel simply let us know within 24 hours or you risk forfeiting a lesson as your time could have been used for another couple. 

By purchasing any of our online products you agree to our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Anti-Spam Policy, and Refund Policy.
