5. Approval & Enrollment
DANCE CLASS CANCELLATION & WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Kender Academy values commitment and consistency. Withdrawal should be considered carefully, as enrollment reserves a dancer’s place for the full season. We consider withdrawals as a last resort and not a means of solving conflicts, temporary disinterest, or scheduling issues.
Enrollment at Kender Academy of Irish Dance is a seasonal commitment. When registering, families reserve their dancer’s place in class for the full dance season. While we understand that withdrawals may occasionally be necessary, tuition is non-refundable and withdrawal requires a minimum 30-day written notice. Families remain financially responsible for tuition during the notice period regardless of attendance.
Non-attendance, regardless of reason, does not constitute withdrawal and does not relieve families of their financial obligations.
Any issues should be brought to staff’s attention with the goal of resolving long before withdrawals are considered or requested.
To ensure clarity for all families and to maintain the quality of our programs, we ask that you carefully review the following cancellation policy.
