Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions supersede any previous Terms and Conditions distributed in any form. Sisashay Productions Limited reserve the right to change any of the Terms and Conditions at any time and without any prior notice, subject to the discretion of both Principals.
Sisashay Productions exist to offer children, young adults and adults the chance to learn to dance and act in a fun, safe and nurturing environment.
As a member of the school your child can expect to be taught by highly qualified teachers who are professionally trained to offer an extensive array of dance, singing and drama styles. These terms and conditions are duly set out to inform parents and children what to expect as a member of Sisashay Productions.
By enrolling at the school, you give your consent to the following, and agree that you have read, understood and agree to all clauses:
(1) Attendance:
For your child to get the most from their classes it is essential that they attend on a regular basis.
Any unnecessary absences should be avoided as this will be detrimental to your child’s progress.
Children who have a high level of absence will not be permitted to take part in competitions or shows.
Where absence is unavoidable please advise the teacher and the absence will be marked as a holiday on the register.
Your child is entitled to 2 free holidays per year but must be booked in advance. If your child is sick then you must contact us before class not after otherwise a holiday will not be permitted.
Sisashay Productions do not allow children going to classes elsewhere unless we do not offer these classes in house. If your child is found to be attending another studio, you will be requested to attend a meeting to discuss this matter further. There are numerous reasons behind this but most of all it is to ensure all pupils are fully committed to Sisashay Productions and there is no other conflict of interests. If you wish for your child to attend summer schools or workshops outside of Sisashay Productions, then out of curtsey you must speak to the Principals in advance of booking any additional classes. If the outcome is that you decide to leave Sisashay Productions, under no circumstances do your contact our staff to attend other classes they offer.
(Any deviation from this agreement will be at the absolute discretion of Sishashay Productions and no entitlement is offered, express or implied, herein).
