AGREEMENT TO THE STUDENT AND PARENT HANDBOOK Full Terms and conditions are detailed in the handbook. Please request your copy now. Please see tabs for further information on individual waivers and to give consent.
AGREEMENT TO GIVE ONE WHOLE MONTH'S NOTICE FOR CANCELLATION. Fees instalments are due by the 15th of each month. If fees are not paid, it will be assumed the student is leaving without the intention to give correct notice and the fee for the remaining two weeks of the current month will be kept to cover costs without any further class attendance. Late fees will incur a charge of £10, plus £10 per week until the balance is cleared.
AGREEMENT TO "HANDS ON" PRACTICE Because dancing is an activity using the body as a tool, it is sometimes necessary for instructors to make physical contact when correcting a child’s posture, stance or position. Whilst all instructors endeavor to communicate the correction verbally wherever possible, if the instruction is not understood by words alone, then in order for the pupil to improve and indeed to preserve their safety from potential injury which of course is paramount, it becomes necessary to correct them manually. If you do not agree to this method of teaching, please discuss with Principal Natalie.
AGREEMENT FOR IMAGE USE ONLINE At times, Sapphire Dance Academy may wish to use your child’s image or video footage on social media pages or the websites belonging to or associated with the Academy. By agreeing to this waiver, you consent to this. Please note, all students participating in our bi-annual showcase, show team performances and competitions will be required to consent to this.
AGREEMENT TO REPRESENTATION Once enrolled as a member, a student and their family become a public representation of the business. Any student or parent found to be participating in slander or ill behaviour of any form, publicly or privately that can be linked to the business will be instantly dismissed. This includes negative or false information, one sided opinion, non-factual statements, or instigating of negative discussion on social media or other forms of communication. Any public bad behaviour or inappropriate conduct in person or online in any Sapphire uniform is strictly forbidden.
AGREEMENT FOR REHEARSAL FOOTAGE TO BE TAKEN. At times, it may be beneficial for videoing to occur by instructors for memory, observations, review and assessment and sharing good practice/development between instructors or by students for memory, rehearsal, learning/catch-up, review. Such videos are purely for this purpose and all students and instructors are in agreement before recording takes place. Once the purpose has been fulfilled, such footage will be deleted. Under no circumstances is this footage to be shared with anyone outside of a class by any means.
AGREEMENT THAT SAPPHIRE DANCE ACADEMY OR ANY INSTRUCTOR ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY STUDENT OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM Although your child’s safety is our upmost concern, all instructors must be fully focused on students within the classroom and cannot supervise students needing to leave the teaching room for any reason or during class change over times. All students under eight years of age require a supervising adult on site at all times, whether their own parent or another parent that you make a personal agreement with. Students should always be dropped off and collected from the upstairs blue reception door. They should also arrive and leave the studios in suitable outdoor clothing, not class wear (leotards/hot pants/crop tops).
