1. Fees and Payment
All classes are delivered as a course, either on a term basis or as specified by the individual instructor. Full payment must be made either before the course begins or within the first two weeks of the term in order to secure your place.
Please note that:
- Fees are non-refundable in cases of participant absence or withdrawal after the course has started.
- No concessions or prorated fees will be granted for vacations or missed sessions.
- Instructors may refuse attendance if payment has not been received within the specified period.
2. Make-up Classes
If a class is cancelled by the instructor (e.g. due to illness or unforeseen circumstances), a make-up session will be arranged at a later date. If this is not possible, a refund for the missed session may be offered at the instructor’s discretion.
No make-up classes will be provided if a participant misses a session voluntarily or due to personal scheduling conflicts.
3. Drop-in Classes
Drop-in attendance is offered only at the discretion of the instructor. Admission may be refused if the class is already at capacity.
Participants should always check with the instructor in advance before attending on a drop-in basis to avoid disappointment.
4. Class Etiquette
Participants are expected to arrive at least five minutes before class begins and wait until the previous session has ended before entering the room. If you need to speak to the instructor, please do so in a respectful and non-disruptive way.
If you have any medical conditions, physical injuries, or other limitations, it is your responsibility to inform the instructor before class. This allows the instructor to guide you safely and appropriately.
If you must leave before the end of class, please notify the instructor in advance.
Please ensure:
- All mobile phones are turned off before class begins.
- No outdoor shoes are permitted inside the studio.
- No food or drinks are brought into the Studio (water in closed bottles is permitted).
- The waiting area is kept quiet and tidy to avoid disturbing ongoing sessions.
