After reading these Guidelines, by clicking here: I agree to these guidelines and would like to enroll.
Guidelines on Payment & Attendance policy:
Payment will be collected in full for a series on the night of the first class, cash or check to "BDC" or "BallroomDanceCommunity." Some classes fill up quickly and others don't reach their minimum, so reservations via on-line enrollment are required in advance to help plan sessions and determine interest. There is no cost to enroll on-line. Please complete the on-line registration to reserve a place in the class. Your contact information will be kept confidential for the sole use of Perimeter Ballroom Dance Community communications. Failure to complete on-line enrollment may limit your ability to participate in a class that fills up and we close enrollment. Pre-enrolling also provides you two reminder emails: 1 week in advance and 1 day prior to the series start.
Attendance
Missed classes / No Makeups: Regular attendance is requested both for the progress of the individual student and for the work of the class as a whole. Everyone has a full calendar and it is expected that students can’t attend every class, so the series is designed with lots of review and there is the additional practice time built into the schedule to keep students on track. There are no make-up classes. Dance events (parties, workshops, etc) function separately and cannot be counted as a make-up for a series class. Attendance at an alternate location or alternate series is not permitted. Payment for a series entitles the enrolled student to 7 classes for the specific series at this location on the designated dates. Please do not drop in to alternate sessions.
Exceptions / Refunds:
We have expenses and request that you make every effort to honor your commitment to the group. Groups that have the minimum enrollment depend upon each participant to cover the cost of hosting the class.
Refunds are not provided after 7 days of the first class. Please notify us immediately if you are unable to attend and need a credit. This community group is self supporting and requires a minimum of students in order to support a class. Classes will be rescheduled if minimum enrollment cannot be met during the first two sessions. Joining
a session late will not be prorated since extra effort is required to bring the student on board to the level of the rest of the class for the missed classes. Students are not encouraged to join after missing several classes unless we are trying to achieve gender balance in which case an exception can be considered for first-timers. We are trying to build a community and your participation with your group is important. We regret that missed classes are not refundable. Registration is not transferable. If I am not able to attend, I will not send a replacement.
Class cancellation:
In the event that the teacher must unexpectedly miss a class, every attempt will be made to find a replacement. If a suitable replacement cannot be contracted at the late notice, the group will still convene as a practice session (you will get to
practice dance!) and a reimbursement (for students who participate in the practice session) will be determined if a make-up cannot be
scheduled. In the event the church facility closes, class will be cancelled. However, if the facility closes during the daytime session, it may still re-open
in the evening. Be sure to check back with the church. Only if the church is closed at the time of the group session will the class be cancelled. Any rescheduling is conveyed via the email and phone number you provide during enrollment.
Inclement weather conditions are posted on our homepage.
Recording:
Video taping, audio taping, cell phone recording or any other medium of capturing the instructors or class is prohibited. Students can record each other during the practice time. Some advanced classes will have designated recording times.
Participation:
A partnership as defined by the ISTC standards will be adhered to in class. As part of the social and educational benefits, partners agree to rotate during class. Classes are not for spectators. On occasion, students invite an out of town guest to observe a single session during their out of town stay and this is acceptable with permission of a host or instructor prior to the start of class.
Participation is at your on risk.
As with any physical program, please consult your doctor before participating in our dance classes.
By continuing to enroll, I (the enrolling student) recognize and understand the risks of physical injury inherent to dance and dance training and I fully assume those risks. I hereby release Ballroom Dance Community, its host church or venue, dance teachers, and volunteers from all liability for injuries sustained or illnesses contracted by me while attending or participating in any dance classes, workshops, social dances or performances. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ballroom Dance Community, its host church or venue, dance teachers and volunteers for liabilities, costs and judgments arising from acts of omissions committed by me which result in injury or damage to any person or property.

I hereby release Ballroom Dance Community, its host church or venue, dance teachers, and volunteers from all liability for loss or damage to my personal property while attending or participating in classes or dance workshops, performances, social dances or related activities. I also agree to abide by any rules, regulations and policies set forth by Ballroom Dance Community.
