TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please ensure you have read and understood the following Terms & Conditions before purchasing any of our products.
PRIVATE LESSONS In order to secure your private lesson, we require full payment in advance. No private lesson is guaranteed until full payment has been completed.
Our private lessons are run on a first-in, first-served basis and places are limited. Private lesson spots fill fast, and bookings for all Auckland Dance Company classes/private lessons are essential.
Please allow a potential 5-10 minutes crossover period before/after your lesson with other private lessons or classes. Your lesson will be run accordingly 5-10 minutes over if this is the case.
RAIN/SHINE/PANDEMIC POLICY
Classes run rain, shine, hail, thunderstorm, rugby game, or pandemic! In the event we are in a remote learning environment (e.g. due to the Covid-19 pandemic) we will conduct private lessons at their usual date and time via Zoom. Zoom links will be sent via normal communication channels in the hour prior to the lesson.
NO SHOWS/CANCELLATIONS
Due to the high demand and massive Wedding Season, no-shows and private lesson cancellations will not be refunded. All students/dancers are responsible for their own attendance and expected to maintain a high level of commitment. Last minute cancellations that cannot be replaced by someone on the Waiting List will be charged full fee.
COMMUNICATIONS & NOTIFICATIONS
All important lesson notifications are made via email.
FEES
All payment of fees to Auckland Dance Company are final.
ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY
ADC has a zero-tolerance policy on harrassment and abuse. If we find students/clients to be acting in this manner towards any of our instructors our other dancers/students, they will be removed from the session with no refunds will be given.
INJURY POLICY & HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
ADC bears no responsibility for injuries sustained during private lessons. All students/clients understand that they are partaking in a physical activity and will take the necessary personal precautions to protect themselves from injury wherever possible. Our choreographers will do all they can to help make the private lessons as comfortable as possible for you, should you have injuries, these must be stated clearly prior to each class you attend.
Stretching, warming up and down is 100% recommended before and after your class begins/ends to alleviate any potential injury.
CONSENT
Sometimes within private lessons our tutors/instructors need to move or touch you to demonstrate a partnerwork move, a lift, or to direct you into the correct position or location on the floor. Students understand that this is part of being in a dance lesson. If you do not agree or are uncomfortable with this, please tell us prior to the lesson beginning. ADC pride ourselves in being a safe environment to be in, and all instructors have been police-checked prior to their involvement with the company.
SOCIAL MEDIA, PHONES & VIDEOS
All ADC private lessons are a phone-free zone, to allow all participants to be present in each lesson.
PERFORMANCES
Some private lesson students will be extended the invite and opportunity to perform their work/piece in our shows throughout the year. This is not guaranteed and not compulsary.
