Please ensure you have read and understood the following Terms & Conditions before signing up to any of our classes.
RAIN/SHINE/PANDEMIC POLICY
Classes run rain, shine, hail, thunderstorm, rugby game, or pandemic! In the event we are in a remote learning environment <unlikely> (e.g. due to the Covid-19 pandemic) we will conduct classes at their usual date and time via Zoom. Zoom links will be sent via normal communication channels in the hour prior to class.
NO SHOWS/ABSENCES
No-shows and class absences will not be refunded. All students and attendees of events are responsible for their own attendance with a high level of commitment for the hour. Our stylists and costume team organise costumes around numbers & events are booked and secured with this in mind.
COMMUNICATIONS & NOTIFICATIONS
All important class announcements are made via email.
FEES
All payment of fees to Auckland Dance Company are final.
ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY
ADC has a zero-tolerance policy on students who are too intoxicated (whether it be via drugs or alcohol), for obvious safety reasons - both to our students and instructors. If we find students/groups to be too inebriated and unable to dance/unruly, they/groups will be removed and no refunds will be given.
INJURY POLICY & HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
ADC bears no responsibility for injuries sustained during class. All students/event attendees understand that they are partaking in a physical activity and will take the necessary personal precautions to protect themselves from injury wherever possible. Our choreographers will do all they can to help make the classes as comfortable as possible for you, should you have injuries, these must be stated clearly prior to each class you attend.
Light stretching, warming up and down is recommended before and after your class begins/ends if you are able, to alleviate any potential injury.
CONSENT
Sometimes within classes our tutors/instructors may move or touch you to demonstrate a move, a lift, or to direct you into the correct position or location on the floor. Students understand that this is part of being in a dance class and instructors will do what they can to ask permission first. If you do not agree or are uncomfortable with this, please tell us prior to the course beginning, but due to the nature of the classes we cannot guarantee acceptance into the course. ADC pride ourselves in being a safe environment to be in, and all instructors have been police-checked prior to their involvement with the company.
SOCIAL MEDIA, PHONES & VIDEOS
All ADC classes are generally a phone-free zone, to allow all participants to be present in each class. In events we will film the end of the session on your phone/one of your attendees phone so you're able to take the media from the day away with you and distrubute to attendees. Please tag @aucklanddanceco on posting.
ADC Choreographers and ADC HQ also reserve the right to film at the end for polishing/promotional purposes.
