PAYMENT AND FEES

There are 2 payment options for dance tuition:

• full term payment by eTransfer to diagairishdance@gmail.com

• monthly payments via postdated cheques to Diaga Irish Dance dated the 1st day of each month of the term.

Payments are due at the first class of the term.

Payments for private lessons are via eTransfer the day of the lesson.

Fees for private lessons cancelled on the day of the lesson are due in full.

Monthly Family Maximum is 400CAD excluding private lessons.

COACHING FEE

The coaching fee applies to dancers attending an out of town competition where there is a teacher present.

The fee encompasses travel and accommodation, and coaching and support.

The fee is variable and dependant on the location of the Feis, and split between the families attending.

REFUNDS

There are no refunds for a dancer who chooses to discontinue mid-term.

If a dancer is injured for a lengthy period of time, considerations for refunds will be made on a case-by-case basis.

MEDIA RELEASE

During the dance year, pictures and/or videos are taken of the Diaga Irish Dancers for in-house use and or marketing purposes. These pictures or videos may be used in combination with dance school brochures, website or other media without financial compensation.

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

Dancers and parents are asked to take careful consideration when posting to social media accounts and refrain from commenting on public forums in a manner that could discredit Diaga Irish Dance or the Irish dance community in general. We aim to represent our dancers in a positive light, and make every effort to promote our school accordingly. Competitions have highs and lows, and comments such as “not the results we had hoped” reflect poorly on our school and program. We focus on the positive aspects of our dancers efforts at all times, and expect parents and dancers to reciprocate this outlook.

DANCER CODE OF CONDUCT

Dancers must be respectful of their instructors and fellow students at all times, both in and outside of class.

Dancers are expected to support one another at competitions and shows. A kind word however small, can be truly up-lifting.

Dancers must respect the direction and decisions of their instructors.

Class uniform is expected at every class. Specifics can be found in the Members Hub.

Dancers are expected to demonstrate good sportsmanship at competitions, and take pride in representing our school.

COSTUMING

All aspects of costuming for performance or competition, must be approved by Diaga Irish Dance.

COMPETITIONS

Families may enter any Feis they wish. Be sure to double check current dance levels with the teacher.

For Majors (Nationals, Oireachtas, Worlds, etc.) it is the responsibility of the dance family to request entry from Diaga Irish Dance.

Throughout the dance year, classes may be cancelled due to the teacher(s) attending competitions. We will endeavour to schedule make-up classes whenever possible.
