Please ensure you have read and understood the following Terms & Conditions before signing up to any of our classes.
TERM COURSES
This performance course consists of 4 x 1 hour classes and is invite only, spanning over 4-weeks (unless otherwise specified). Our goal is to promote evolution, learning and growth; move our dancers towards (optional) performances depending on the term; work towards goals; and foster dedication and focus.
Our term courses are run on a first-in, first-served basis and places are limited. Term courses fill fast and bookings for all Auckland Dance Company classes are essential.
INJURY POLICY & HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
ADC bears no responsibility for injuries sustained during class. All students and caregivers understand that they/their children 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.
Stretching, warming up and down is 100% recommended before and after your class begins/ends to alleviate any potential injury. Students who are unruly, causing danger to themselves or others will unfortunately not be able to participate.
CONSENT
Sometimes within classes our tutors/instructors may move or touch you to demonstrate a partnerwork move, a lift, or to direct students into the correct position or specific location/formation. By enrolling in this class you understand this. All of our instructors are police checked and experienced, and we trust them innately!
Caregivers/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 vetted prior to their involvement with the company.
