Aspire Dance is not responsible for transmissions of Covid-19 or any such infectious diseases or illnesses. Participants should adhere to current government guidelines with regards to Covid-19 and any such infectious diseases or welfare issues.
Outdoor classes pose a higher risk to the participant due to natural occurrences such as variable weather and uneven ground surface. Participation is at your own risk and participants are expected to be cautious whilst taking part, they should always check the area around them before moving.
Virtual Classes can differ in risk too in person classes therefore you should sign the separate terms and conditions document entitled ‘Virtual Learning Terms and Conditions’ in order to participate in any type of virtual learning with Aspire Dance.

Booking and Payment
Your booking is not confirmed until payment has been received. Paid for spaces will be given priority.
Minimum booking is for one term. This is calculated to include one week free which can be used as a holiday, illness or simply a class for free. Invoices must be paid within the first 2 weeks of term in order to receive this benefit.
All payments are final. We do not issue refunds for missed sessions due to your own circumstances. If there are any paid sessions cancelled by Aspire Dance we will consider this your free week. If this happens again in the same term we will endeavour to offer a make-up session.
Payments will be returned if an activity has to be cancelled by Aspire Dance due to minimum numbers not being achieved.
In circumstances where we can offer refunds an administration fee will be applied.
Anybody found to be abusing discount codes will have their invoice amended to be the correct amount plus an administration fee.
We are not responsible for any platform fees added to your payment through the use of online systems.
