Class registration and payment are required prior to attending a class.

New to Dance Pointe? Register for a trial class at https://app.classmanager.com/trials/dance-pointe. After your trial, we’ll be in touch to organise your weekly classes.

Already a current or returning Dance Pointe student? Email us at miia@dancepointeqld.com.au to arrange your classes or log in to your Class Manager portal to register directly.

By registering for Dance Pointe classes, you are committing to a service contract for the full term. Re-registration is required for subsequent terms - our admin team will organise your classes based on the current schedule, and payment is required to confirm your placement.

By enrolling in Dance Pointe classes and/or events, I agree to the following Terms & Conditions:

CLASS ENROLMENT & PAYMENT
Class enrolments are for the full term, and tuition is structured accordingly. Casual class payment options are available for adult classes only. Casual bookings for children’s classes and pro-rata adjustments for missed classes are not offered. For absences, please refer to our Make-Up Lesson Policy.

Class placements for each new term are organised based on each dancer’s current enrolment and schedule. From 2026 onwards, tuition for the upcoming term must be paid before the current term ends to secure a class place. If payment is not received by the due date, the allocated class spot may be released. Class places are not held over school holidays without payment.

Tuition for a 10-week term may be paid in two instalments via our auto-pay option. Please contact our admin team to arrange this.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY
By enrolling in Dance Pointe classes, I understand and agree that I am committing to a service contract for the full term.

Dance Pointe has a no refund policy, including for missed classes or change of mind. New students may trial a class before enrolling.

If I choose to withdraw partway through a term, any tuition already paid is non-refundable and any outstanding fees remain payable in full.

If Dance Pointe is required to suspend in-person classes due to health regulations or legal restrictions, classes will continue via an online learning platform for the remainder of the term. No refunds will be issued in this circumstance.

MISSED CLASSES & MAKE-UP LESSONS
No refunds or credits are issued for missed classes due to illness, quarantine, injury, or other personal circumstances.

Make-up lessons may be offered where available but must be completed within the current term. Make-up lessons do not carry over into future terms.

Make-up lessons must be scheduled through the Dance Pointe admin team.

ENROLMENT CONDITIONS
Enrolments, class placements, and all associated entitlements (including make-up lessons) are issued to the enrolled student only and are non-transferable. They cannot be shared, assigned, or transferred to another student, sibling, friend, or family member.

ACCOUNT CREDIT
I acknowledge that any unused account credit will expire within three months (90 days) from the date of issuance.

DANCE SCHEDULE CHANGES
All classes are subject to change. While Dance Pointe makes every effort to operate classes according to the schedule published on the website, changes may be necessary due to fluctuations in demand. There is no guarantee that classes will run as originally scheduled. Any required changes will be communicated to those affected prior to the start of classes.

UNIFORM POLICY
Dance Pointe has a mandatory uniform policy (excluding trial classes, Ballet Buddies, Ballet Stars, and adult classes). Please refer to the Uniform Guide at https://sites.google.com/view/dancepointeqlduniformguide for more detailed information. I acknowledge that I am responsible for obtaining the required class uniform items within two weeks of starting classes.

PARENTAL PARTICIPATION
One parent or guardian per dancer is required to be present for the duration of Ballet Buddies and Ballet Stars classes. For Ballet Buddies (2-3 years), parental participation is essential to maintain the class structure and focus. In many instances, these classes are more beneficial and run more smoothly with the involvement of a parent or guardian. For Ballet Stars classes, one parent or guardian is asked to observe the class from the studio, with chairs provided. I acknowledge that in the unlikely event my child requires first aid during these classes, the responsibility remains mine.

For all other classes, no spectators are allowed in the studio to encourage independent learning. Viewing windows and TV monitors are available for a brief look at the class in action. All Dance Pointe teachers have Blue Cards for working with children and current first aid certification. By registering for Dance classes, I consent to Dance Pointe providing first aid or calling for emergency medical assistance in the event of an emergency.

SIBLING POLICY
Siblings of registered Dance Pointe students are not permitted to participate in Dance Pointe classes. If alternative care arrangements cannot be made for siblings, I understand that I am responsible for ensuring they remain off the dance floor and do not interfere with any equipment being used during the class.

PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMING
As part of our commitment to child safety, Dance Pointe may take photographs, videos, or digital recordings of students and attendees during classes, rehearsals, performances, concerts, and any Dance Pointe events, whether on or off our premises (e.g., Open Day, community performances).

By attending Dance Pointe events or classes, parents, guardians, and attendees consent to Dance Pointe, its staff, and agents using these images and recordings for educational, promotional, and marketing purposes, including on our website, social media, brochures, or other media.

To ensure the privacy and safety of all students:

• Parents and guardians are not permitted to take photos or videos during classes or official events.

• All media will be handled securely by Dance Pointe staff and only shared in approved channels.

• Identifiable information of students (full names, contact details) will not be published alongside images/videos without specific approval.

This policy forms part of our Child Safe standards, ensuring that all use of images and recordings respects the privacy and wellbeing of every student in our care.

FOOD & DRINK
For safety and cleanliness, food and beverages are not permitted in the Dance Pointe studios. These can be consumed in the reception area. Only water is allowed in the studios.

I understand that the classes are structured to include a drink break, and I acknowledge that all dancers should bring a water bottle to each class.

ILLNESS POLICY
I understand that I should NOT attend classes if I am unwell. Once I am feeling better, I have the option to contact the admin team to schedule a make-up lesson. Make-up lessons must be scheduled within the current term and do not carry over to the next term. 

T&Cs updates
These T&Cs may change from time to time and are available in the Studio Handbook.

These examinations are optional and invitations are given out in February. Dancers are encouraged to sit examinations to help build confidence, self-esteem and discipline. It also gives them the opportunity to work towards a goal and receive an objective indication of their dance technique level.

The APDA examinations will be held in June at Dance Pointe studios. Examination dates are set by the association, we usually receive them in May. There is a compulsory workshop and mock exam in Term 2 and it is imperative that exam candidates attend these so they know what is expected of them, and learn how the examination will run.
