2023 Terms and Conditions
Trial Lessons
Free trial lessons for a group class, free of charge, can be arranged via email to Rockstudios. After a trial lesson, if desired to continue onto enrolment, registration via our online portal is required.
Uniform
All dance classes require a uniform to be worn. No school uniform is to be worn at any time during dance classes. Dance uniforms can be purchased from Dancestuff and Rockstudios office.
Concert and Costume
Costumes are mandatory for the End of Year Concert and other performances. A costume fee based on the number and type of costumes is charged to families. The estimated pricing of costumes is included in our published handbook.
Concert Policy – While it is not compulsory for a student to perform, it is encouraged and preferred. If a child is not participating, notify Rockstudios by the end of Term 2 in writing. Participating students are required to attend all rehearsals and performances as scheduled.
Enrolment Period
Enrolments will continue automatically from term to term until the end of the school year.
Withdrawal Notice If your child cannot continue dancing, we can cancel their enrolment. We require a cancellation form to be submitted, and this form can be obtained from the office by phone or email. We require four weeks notice for all cancellations, and your account will be amended to include this notice.
If we do not receive a cancellation form, fees will continue to be deducted by Ezidebit, and no refunds will be given.
A cancellation form must be provided via email to dance@rockstudios.com.au, not to the tutor/teacher.
Number of Lessons per School Term
The number of lessons for classes is based on dance Term dates. Classes are charged per number of lessons during a term and consider public holidays. For Group Dance Classes, full charges will apply regardless of student attendance.
Late Pick-Up Fee
A late pick-up fee per our published fees will be charged where students are not collected any more than 15min upon the end of dance lessons. A late fee of $5 per child will apply. Please note that contacting the studio if late will incur NO charge.
Little Coasties – Lessons During School Hours
For any Group or Private lesson enrolments during school hours, the teacher will collect students in Pre-school. The collection and return time will be 5min before start time and return immediately after class. It is the parent’s responsibility to email the Pre-school Director if their child is enrolled in dance.
GPCC Student School Transfers for 3:15pm or 3:30pm classes
All school students can walk up to the Jacaranda building upon the conclusion of the school day. They are allowed to change into dance uniforms. The service includes supervised transfers and minding until class commencement at 3:15pm or 3:30pm. This can be opted into by families. (7-Eleven is not an option for afternoon tea)
Invoices, Direct Debit, and Payments Fees are paid by direct debit, credit card, and EFTPOS on an upfront or monthly basis; your account will be charged on the first business day for the whole term or full monthly payment. If you have enrolled mid-month, these classes will be charged pro-rata and processed the day after enrolment. All fees will need to be paid in full for any student to participate in our Mid-Year and End of Year Concerts.
A student enrolment may be canceled if fees are in arrears.
Communication and Complaints
Parents requiring communication with tutors can email or contact the Rockstudios office, which will liaise with the tutor to agree on a suitable time to discuss. Please speak with your teacher before submitting a formal complaint.
Complaints are to be made in writing and can be submitted to dance@rockstudios.com.au
Attendance
Your child’s attendance in class is essential to their peers and our teaching staff. As a member of the team, it is a commitment for you to ensure your child attends their classes on time each week and attends all lessons planned for them. Not only do absences impact the concert routines we create, but it also impacts the social and confidence-building principles we work hard to foster in each age group.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate make-up sessions for students who miss classes but we will try to schedule a catch-up class in the unlikely event that Rockstudios needs to cancel a lesson.
