- Newcomers Enrolment Timetable -Autumn 2025

Places are secured in advance via pre-payment only, verbal reservations are not accepted. Please use the Paypal buttons above to pay by card, you do not need a paypal account. Under booked courses/classes are cancelled and refunded. Please be aware your place is considered voided and may be given to another student if you do not attend the first class of a course to enrol and honour your booking, unless you make immediate contact to advise otherwise and have the place held until the following week. No refunds are available for those who have booked but fail to enrol at the first class. Upon booking you will be sent a Fitness to Dance form to complete, this is compulsory and confidential.

You may attend the first class of any listed course for a one off fee, as listed above. These can be pre-booked, drop-in is subject to availability and you may not get a place. Drop-in payment is strictly cash only on arrival, you will be turned away if you do not have cash to pay. Please note that if you pay for the first class only, a place on the course running thereafter is not guaranteed. If a place is available the remaining course fee is payable as cash only at the end of your trial class so make sure you have brought payment with you to avoid dissapointment.

If not pre-booking, please read the Attendance Advice in advance for details of what to wear and health and safety. Advance email contact before attending a class for the first time is recommended to request a Fitness to Dance screening form (sent by email). In some circumstances medical advice or consent may be required before admittance in cases of injury, health problems or pregnancy. It is in your interest to request the form in advance. If pre-booking you will be sent the form automatically. Otherwise, please be sure to arrive 10 minutes early to complete a copy on arrival. 

One-off taster classes and workshops are not refundable or transferable. However if you have booked a course and are unable to attend, you may claim a refund or transfer to another course until 14 days before the course you have booked begins. Payment is strictly NOT refundable or transferable if you cancel later than this or fail to attend, except using the Money Back Guarantee above. 

If you attend the first class of a pre-booked course and decide not to continue, you may claim a late refund for the full amount paid within 24 hours of attending, no questions asked, effectively making your first class free. The guarantee is void 24 hours after the first class, or if you fail to attend your first booked class. The Money Back Guarantee is only applicable to courses that have been pre-paid online, and can be claimed once only per person. Does not apply to taster classes or other one-off sessions.

The courses must be attended in full from the start as they have a lot of content, and are progressive and carefully structured. Once a course has commenced latecomers may only join during the first two weeks, space permitting. After week 2 has passed, new students must first take extra-curricular lessons in order to catch-up with the course they wish to join. The full course fee and cost of any catch-up lessons required must be pre-paid before you can begin. Make sure you contact well before the next scheduled class so that a catch-up lesson can be arranged in time.

Any classes missed but paid for are not refundable, but Belly Dance Beginners may attend repeat classes when available, as a catch up, for no additional charge. If 3 or more consecutive classes are missed your place is considered void. If you miss the first class (failing to enrol) and do not make immediate contact to hold your place, your place is voided and not refundable. You may not progress to the next level of classes if you miss 3 or more classes.

Tina-Louise teaches in a group format and not on a one-to-one regular basis. All students are expected to attend regular group classes. However, personalised 'catch-up' lessons are available for students who have missed any classes and need to catch up.

Under 16s may attend Belly Dance classes when accompanied by a participating parent/guardian over 18 only. Bookings received for under 16s will not be accepted unless made with an adult booking. All other classes are for over 16s only.

Beginners courses are payable in full before or at the start. Once beginners level is completed, students are only required to pay for the classes they are able to attend at the start of each term and do not have to pay for classes missed due to holidays or other commitments. However once paid for, missed classes cannot be refunded, but a suitable alternative class can be attended as a replacement if available, for no additional charge within the same term. Replacement classes due are void at the end of each term.
