Dancers wishing to transfer to Kender Academy of Irish Dance from another Irish Dance school must adhere to the following requirements:
1. Pre-Transfer Consultation- Before initiating a transfer, we ask families to contact Kender Academy to discuss:
- Your dancer’s experience and training history
- Goals and expectations for their dance education
- Appropriate class placement on our schedule
- Families may also schedule a visit to meet our staff and observe a class prior to enrolling.
2. Notification of Former Teacher
- Families are expected to notify their former teacher of their intent to transfer. This ensures the process is respectful and professional, in keeping with standard dance community practice.
- All tuition, fees, and other financial obligations must be fully paid to the former dance school before a transfer can be processed.
- Any required withdrawal procedures from the previous school must also be completed.
- Kender Academy reserves the right to confirm that these steps have been completed before submitting transfer paperwork.
3. CLRG Compliance:
- Transfers are subject to the rules of CLRG regarding transferring, including the mandatory 3-month restyling period (3-month pause from competing).
- If a beginner level dancer has spent 3 months or less in their initial dance school, then the 3-month restyling period does not apply.
- Where a dancer has not attended a class of a teacher registered with CLRG, or a registered teacher from any other Irish Dancing organisation for at least one year, that dancer need not be withheld from competition.
- Students and parents are responsible for understanding and complying with all CLRG regulations. The CLRG rule book can be viewed here (Section 2.1, Transfers)
- A $50 administration fee is required to process the transfer paperwork required by CLRG. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid prior to initiating the transfer process.
5. Approval & Enrollment
- Kender Academy reserves the right to approve or deny transfers at its discretion in cases where CLRG rules, proper notification to prior dance school/teachers, or other requirements are not satisfied.
