What is your cancellation policy? Can I get a refund?

We do not accept cancellation after the first lesson. If your child does not desire to keep dancing please let us know, and we will work to resolve the concerns of your child as best we can. We cannot offer a refund under any circumstances except when issued with a medical certificate. Resolution of concerns should be directed to our director Sonia directly via email: sonia@academyofdance.com.hk

We only offer refunds when we have had to close a class due to our own internal issues such as no teacher available at short notice, or an accident, emergency, or due to low class enrolment. We do our absolute best to provide notice of a class closure and we are always deeply apologetic for any inconvenience caused as we do understand and value the commitment parents make.

I don’t know which class my child should enroll in – how can I determine that?

Firstly have a read up about the difference between jazz, ballet and hip hop and then if you are still undecided please contact us right away and we’d love to help you find a class for your child to trial. Usually we are happy for parents to trial two different class in the first week to see what the differences are firsthand. 

Secondly, our classes are organised by age and levels, please tell us your child’s age and any previous dance experience they may have had, we will then get the feedback from the teacher about the classes and let you know what level we think they should enrol in.
