ACTIVE & CREATIVE VOUCHERS.
Changes to enrolment.
​​Students may choose to change or “swap” classes. When SWAPPING classes but staying on the same “pricing package” (ie. number of classes attending), the billing stays the same.
If adding a class and moving to a higher pricing package, you will need to complete the form found here so we can adjust pricing and classes.
If reducing your child's enrolment and moving to a lower pricing package, a form will need to be filled out so that the remaining payments reflect the reduced enrolment. Please be aware that costume fees and performance levies are not refundable. If your child is not participating in the concert, please notify reception at the beginning of the year so that your child's billing can be adjusted in the system.
If cancelling your enrolment completely, and withdrawing as a student, the parent MUST complete a cancellation form found here. Unless we are notified, billing will continue automatically even if the student is not attending, and refunds for missed classes are not available under any circumstances.
Cancellation can only occur during the school holidays and once the term resumes, students will be locked in. Students are encouraged to continue in their classes for the term weeks, alternatively the fees for the term are forfeited.
​
mISSED cLASS policy.
If a student has to miss a class because they are sick, we unfortunately do not offer make up lessons.
In the case of significant injury where a student is unable to dance for longer than 4 weeks, we can issue a credit for those weeks’ fees. (On direct debit this will mean that automatic payments stop early at the end of the year). This applies ONLY if we are notified in advance by writing, and with a medical certificate, with details of the number of weeks the student will miss.
​
We cannot provide credit or discount for classes missed due to extended family holidays.
Concert.
The annual dance concert is the most anticipated event of the year for all of our students. For newcomers to our studio, it’s a spectacular event where every student has the chance to take the stage and showcase their progress.
Why does it matter? This is a unique opportunity for your child to shine and share their growth with loved ones. It’s their moment to perform in front of family and friends, highlighting all the hard work they've put in. A dance concert creates an unforgettable experience, honouring the effort, skill, and success of each dancer.
​
​​
CONCERT TICKETS
Tickets to concert shows go on sale online, we will post this on our community pages a few weeks before the concert. We strive to keep concert ticket prices as affordable as possible, though we must account for the significant costs associated with the venues and production. Our concerts are large-scale events featuring cutting-edge lighting, held at top-tier venues that ensure a magical and unforgettable experience for our students, while providing a spectacular and entertaining show for families. Performers do not need a ticket, as they will be supervised backstage during the event.
​
CONCERT LEVY
Every performer in any of our end of year concerts will need a Concert Levy. This is $150 and includes streaming access and download of Concert Video, a medal, a digital photo from the photo shoot. The levy also covers the cost associated with running the concert.
​
PHOTOSHOOT
We hold photo shoots at the studio so that our students can have professional photos taken in class groups and individually in their awesome costumes. The photos will be available for purchase online a few weeks after the concerts and will be $15 each, with discounts if you purchase multiple.
​
COSTUME HIRE
At Dance Worx the students hire the costumes from our in-house costume department. This helps keep costs down and saves parents from spending hundreds of dollars on buying costumes that will end up sitting in a cupboard after being worn once.
​
We have introduced a 'COSTUME LEVY' which is an an "all inclusive" contribution to the costume department and goes towards sourcing new costumes, alterations, mending, wear and tear, cleaning, storing and staff costs.
​
We spread the costume hire levy over 40 weeks, which works out to $3.00 per week. Those who enrol into a class after the beginning of the year, will be billed for the costume levy of previous terms to "catch up" on any missed quarterly costume fee payments - so that all students are paying the same for their costumes.
If your child will not be participating in the concert, please let reception know as early as possible so that you won't be charged for any future costume hire fees throughout the year.
No refunds (or exchanges between siblings) can be issued for any costume levies - even if your child cancels their enrolment throughout the year, or is unable to participate in the concert. This is because our costume department works year-round collecting, sorting, sewing, designing etc. Some costumes are purchased or made for the end of year concert as early as February. All of the costume levies go towards the ongoing operating costs of our costume department.
CODE OF CONDUCT.
At Dance Worx Academy, we are committed to fostering a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment where students, parents, and staff work together to create a supportive community. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask all participants to adhere to the following code of conduct:
​
1. Respect for Others: Treat all students, instructors, staff, and visitors with kindness and respect. Encourage positive interactions and teamwork among peers. Maintain an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, regardless of skill level, background, or experience.
2. Punctuality and Attendance: Arrive on time for all classes, rehearsals, and performances. Notify the studio in advance if you are unable to attend a class. Consistent attendance is vital to progress and team success.
3. Dress Code: Wear the appropriate attire for each class, as instructed by the dance studio. Proper footwear must be worn for safety reasons, and hair should be secured in a neat style. Keep personal belongings organized and avoid bringing unnecessary items into the studio.
4. Behaviour and Attitude: Show a positive attitude and be open to learning and constructive feedback. Follow directions and guidelines set by instructors at all times. Avoid disruptive behaviour, including talking, excessive noise, or distracting others during class.
5. Safety First: Prioritize safety by warming up before classes, stretching, and using proper techniques. Report any injuries or concerns to the instructor immediately. Be mindful of your surroundings, and respect the studio's equipment and space.
6. Communication: Keep open lines of communication with your instructor regarding any challenges or special needs. Parents should keep the studio informed of any changes in contact information or emergency details. Address any concerns or issues in a respectful and professional manner.
7. Respect for the Studio Space: Treat the studio facilities and equipment with care and respect. Clean up after yourself and avoid leaving personal items behind. Maintain the cleanliness and tidiness of the studio at all times.
8. No Bullying or Harassment: Any form of bullying, harassment, or discrimination will not be tolerated. Foster an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported.
9. Performance Etiquette: Perform with respect for fellow dancers and the audience. Refrain from unnecessary behaviour backstage during performances and rehearsals. Be courteous to other performers and respect the stage as a shared space.
10. Parent and Guardian Responsibilities: Parents should support the studio's mission and values and reinforce positive behaviour in students. Attend parent meetings and stay informed about studio events, policies, and schedules. Maintain appropriate behavior and respect the space during observation times.
Our beautiful but busy premises are cleaned daily. Please respect our studios and help us to keep them looking nice. Keep your feet off the furniture and hands off the walls and mirrors. Take all rubbish with you or place it in one of the many bins provided. Drink spillages and “accidents” are parents’ responsibility to clean up immediately, please ask at reception for a mop or sponge if required.
​
Parents and students and siblings are asked to keep all noise to a minimum when in the foyer or waiting in between classes. Our studios are soundproofed, but some noise still leaks through and can distract the classes still in progress.
By following this Code of Conduct, we ensure that Dance Worx Academy remains a place where every dancer can thrive, grow, and enjoy their dance experience. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a positive and respectful environment!
