Admission

The Organiser, guest teachers and all dancers of the sessions have a right to be in a safe and non-threatening environment. I therefore expect appropriate behaviour from all participants. If a participant engages in harassing or unsafe behaviour, the Organiser and/or guest teachers will take any action they deem appropriate. This includes, but is not limited to, issuing a warning, expelling the offender from the session and/or future sessions, refusing admission and/or contact with the offender.

The Organiser reserve the right to turn down registrations or refuse entry to any part of the sessions. Additionally, the Organiser reserve the right to expel an already registered person from the session. In case the expulsion occurs any time up until one day before the beginning of the event, the Organiser will refund the full price -20%. The refund, at any given time, does not include any other financial expenses already incurred by the participant prior to the session. In case the expulsion occurs during the sessions, the Organiser will pay no refund for the session.
