Students who wish to discontinue lessons prior to the end of the school year must notify their dance instructor in writing. Partial term refunds will only be given for medical reasons. If a student withdraws after the commencement of a term for medical reasons, a medical certificate is required prior to the withdrawal from any classes or programs in order to receive a refund. No refunds or credits will be given for missed classes.

Parents/guardians agree to pay for dance instruction per the published tuition rates, extra class fees (if applicable), performance fees, costume fees and competition fees (if applicable) for the student’s period of study. An administration fee of $50.00 will be applied to NSF cheques or expired credit cards. Parents/guardians understand that if their tuition payment is not remitted on time, their child will not be allowed to participate in classes until the amount owing is balanced.

Parents/guardians are aware that dance training and the athletic exercises associated with it place unusual stress on the body and carry a risk of physical injury. Parents/guardians assume the risk and agree that Goh Ballet and the Dance Program shall not be liable in any way for injuries sustained during attendance, dance class or any related functions. Parents/guardians understand that good dance training involves touching and adjustment of the student’s body by the instructor. Parents/guardians acknowledge that neither the Goh Ballet, the Dance Program nor its instructors are responsible for any loss of or damage to the student’s personal property.

In the event that a parent/guardian cannot be reached, the management, faculty, administration, staff and chaperones of the Dance Program are authorized to enact any emergency medical care that may be required by students during participation in classes, performances or any related Dance Program events. This authorization extends throughout the current academic year. Parents/guardians are responsible for any and all charges as a result of such care or medical treatment. Parents/guardians understand that if the student requires an epinephrine pen (EpiPen) administered in the event of an allergic reaction, a letter detailing permission of administration is required. Without this letter, an EpiPen cannot be administered by any Dance Program faculty members under any circumstances. If a student requires prescription medication for any reason, a letter of permission of administration is required. Without this letter, the Dance Program faculty will not administer any prescription medication.

Parents/guardians grant permission to Goh Ballet and the Dance Program to post stories, photos, videos or other items related to their child’s experience with the production, hereinafter referred to as “Materials,” on Goh Ballet websites, print media and other web platforms and services as well as social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. Parents/guardians release themselves, their representative, employees, managers, members, officers, related entities, subsidiaries and directors, from all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with any use of said “Materials,” including, without limitation, all claims for invasion of privacy, infringement of their right of publicity, defamation and any other personal and/or property they acknowledge and agree that no sums whatsoever will be due to me as a result of the use and/or exploitation of the “Materials” or any right therein.
