Registrations, Cancellations, and Refunds
Please note: The cancellation and refund policy for sessional, full year performance, and camps are all different:
Sessional Programs:
Kids Sessional: We have a "drop-and-go lobby". Unfortunately, there is simply not enough space in our lobby for parents to sit and watch. We have found this routine to be very successful for all of our young dancers. We have parent shares mid-session and last class.
Parented: To keep our class sizes small, please keep to one caregiver per child (caregivers are welcome to switch from week to week) and no extra siblings. If you have a baby, he/she must stay in a bucket seat or a carrier.
Registrations can be completed online or in person at the studio or over the phone (provided you already have an account with J'Adore Dance). Payment must be received at the time of registration.
Prorating: Prorating class registration fees will not begin until week 5 of the session. Registering for a class before week 5, you are eligible for 3 make-ups to be used in any of our sessional programming within the current session. Please note that prorated classes and make-up classes are subject to availability.
Registrations cancelled before the first class are subject to a $25+GST administrative fee. No refunds will be issued after the start date of the class, however, we will issue credit (minus the $25+GST administrative fee) valid for 12 months from the start date of the canceled program if the registration is canceled before the third class of the session. No refunds or credit will be granted after the start of the third class other than for serious illness or injury with medical documentation provided. Cancellation requests must be received in writing (info@jadoredance.com) and can only be processed by management. Credits are non-transferable and non-refundable.
Full Year Performance:
Cancellations received prior to August 1st of the current dance year will be charged a $75+GST cancellation fee. Cancellations received prior to September 16th of the current dance year will be charged the $200+GST administration/cancellation fee. Cancellations received prior to October 31st of the current dance year will be refunded one half of the total annual class fees (not including the $200+GST administration/Cancellation fee). Cancellations received between November 1 and November 30th of the current dance year will receive studio credit for one half of the class cost (not including the $200+GST administration/Cancellation fee). No refunds or credits will be issued for ANY cancellations received after November 30th of the current dance year. If you are unsure if your child is ready for a full year dance commitment, please consider one of our sessional programs.
Class switches will not be considered after the second week of full year programming. Class switches are subject to availability, teacher and administrative approval.
Camps:
Cancellations received more than 21 days prior to the camp start date will receive a full refund minus the $25+ GST cancellation fee. Cancellations received between 7 to 21 days prior to the camp start date will receive studio credit for the cost of the camp minus the $25+ GST cancellation fee. Credits are valid for 12 months from the original issue date and will be deducted from your family's next registration. Cancellations received within 7 days of the camp start date will be ineligible for either class credit or refund.
Class switches are subject to availability and administrative approval. Requests must be received in writing (info@jadoredance.com).

Health and Safety
Dance is a wonderful way to exercise due to the many physical, mental, and emotional benefits. In our programs we strive to provide modifications for all fitness and dance levels so all participants can feel successful. However, J'Adore Dance always recommends talking with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

Class cancellation due to instructor illness or inclement weather
In the event that J'Adore Dance is required to cancel a class due to instructor illness or emergency, we will do our best to find a suitable substitute instructor or book a make up class that will occur at the end of the session or during mid-term break. If we cannot schedule a substitute instructor or make up class, registered participants will receive a class credit that may be applied to a drop in class, make-up class, or future class registration.
