- (d) Semi-Private
Group rates vary according to number of people in a class. The rates
have three levels; groups of from 3 to 4 people OR groups of 5 to 6
people OR normal group rates for from 7 people or more.
As a bonus, please notice that rates drop as groups continue studying.
The rates below are for the first month of study, only. If a group
continues onward to a 2nd month of study, their rates drop very
considerably because they are under rates for "special
privilege" groups.
Rates:
- Classes of 3-4 people
must pay among
themselves a
total of $100.00 for the class (i.e the rate
is $25 each
for groups of 4 people and $33 each for groups of 3 people).
- Classes of 5 and 6
people will pay
$20 a per person for the class. The monthly rate does not apply.
- Classes of 7 people
which are to remain
semi-private
and therefore are not open to including the general public with their
members,can have a choice of a monthly rate or not. If they choose to
take by the
single class rate, they will pay the single class rate of $20 a person.
If they pay for 4 lessons in advance on a monthly rate,
they will pay $ 70 a month per person, saving $10 per person over the
month. In this category of SEMI-PRIVATE GROUP CLASS, no missed classes
may be refunded or taken in a make-up. A weekly decision
by the whole group will be made during a class toward
choosing a date for the next class. To cancel a lesson, a group leader
will have a window of 24 hours to give Mr. Everitt verbal
phone. No parties from the class other than the group leader may make
this cancellation. No members of the group who miss a class
are entitled to credit or refund or transfer of the class to another
person to take it for them or to have credit for a make-up
class.
(e) "Special-privilege"
seniority
rates
Small size (i.e. from 3 to 6 people) groups of students who have
already had courses with the Ballroom Dance Center of Hoboken under Mr.
Everitt's tutelage will be favored, receive discounts for future
lessons, and known as the "special-privilege" groups. They include
anyone who completes the following courses:
- Beginner
month in Level 1
- Beginner
month in Level 2
- Continued on
to Level 3 and intermediate
These students will pay a lower rate than
the normal semi-private rate
which are:
- Groups of 3 or 4 pay $80 per month a
person, as
opposed to $100 regular charge per person!
- Groups of 5 or 6 pay $70 per month a
person, as
opposed to $80 regular charge per person!
- Single class rates instead of monthly rates
for
these
"special privilege" groups are the equivalent of 25% of the rates
given, except a $1.00 per person surcharge is added.
There are additional special ways of
discounts allowed for other
situations, as well, for these highly valued returning students in this
category.
An individual group class is $20.00
Please call us at 201-653-2522 for our most current rates!
The following
policies
apply for private or group classes if a student decides to cancel on
the same day as their pre-arranged appointment
- (a) Private
All private lessons are required to cancel ( by phone or in person only
and not by email) at least 24 hours prior to an assigned date,
regardless of conditions. Matters related to personal or work schedule
problems, medical appointments, family matters, travel problems, etc.
are not allowed for requesting a refund or a make-up more than once.
After that, it is up to the teacher as to whether any discretion should
be allowed for future missed classes without a 24-hour notice. Payments
for missed lessons without a 24-hour notice are mandatory after the 2nd
missed class without notice.
- (b)Group
- Missed Classes and Make-Up Classes
The same rules for "missing a class" apply as above in private class.
In addition, the policy regarding "missed classes" is as follows; if a
student misses any of the 4-week course classes, he or she must take
their make-up classes within the prescribed 4-week period of their
course by taking classes twice a week at some point, if possible* (see
conditions below.) They must take any class in any style of dance which
is available for their make-up even though it may not be the same type,
as long as it is within the skill level. For example if a beginner is
taking beginner Tango and misses, and no other duplicate Tango beginner
class is held in that course, then they must choose between a beginner
level Swing, or Ballroom, or Salsa. We guarantee that the student will
improve their skills within the course they chose by also taking any
other style.
* If there are no classes happening simultaneously in the same time
period in the skill level, then a student may have a "rain check" for
their missed class, and take the class in either the next 4-week period
with next month (the "follow-up course" of their own class course), or
they may have a refund for one class if there is not to be a follow-up
course or another same level class to begin within the upcoming two
months.
The student may not receive a refund for more than
one class per 4-week course: if he or she misses more than one class,
they may not receive an automatic 2nd free make-up class.
We very strongly advise to take make-ups in ANY style you can! Those
who do take other styles than the one they are already taking always
improve more than other students, and even more important, their dance
awareness grows GREATLY.
If someone's partner cannot come on any given night, and the single
person wants to come without them, they really should. That is
customary.
