Private Lesson:
A student may not schedule a private lesson with BWDA until the student has a zero balance. Private lessons with Ms. Jasmine will post to your account and must be paid prior to scheduling another private lesson. Private lessons with all other BWDA Staff or Guest Choreographers must be paid at the time of the Private Lesson and paid directly to the BWDA Staff member or Guest Choreographer. You may be ineligible for future private lessons if you do not pay on time for your private lesson. If a private lesson is scheduled and the student fails to show, without notice, the student will be billed a "No Call No Show Fee" that totals half of the cost of the originally scheduled private lesson. At least 24 hours notice is required for private cancellations. Failure to provide proper cancellation may result in a "Private Cancellation Fee without Proper Notice", at the discretion of the teacher, that totals half of the cost of the originally scheduled private lesson. A student will be ineligible for future privates until all cancellation fee's are paid.
