Studio Policy

We look forward to dancing with you. This is Breathe Dance Company’s Studio Policy and contains really important stuff that you agree to at the time you make your course booking via the checkbox when you complete your purchase(s).

BOOKINGS, PAYMENT & CREDITS

ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. Before committing to any bookings, please consider any existing health issues or injuries, as well as all work, travel, domestic and other commitments beforehand.

We will not refund, roll over/defer, prorate or transfer any missed or unattended classes or credits, without exception. This includes work/domestic schedules, as well as other personal developments.

If you develop a medical condition that prevents you from continuing with your purchased course(s), please email us a letter from your doctor or physiotherapist (TCM not accepted). We will review class credits according to the following table, and based on the date of your doctor's letter (regardless of how many classes you've attended/missed):

Period of the term (date of doctor's letter)  Class credits you get
Any time up to Week 2 60%
Weeks 3-4 30%
Week 5 20%
Week 6 onwards No refund/credits

 

We levy a $20 administrative fee to process any class credits transactions.

Class credits are valid for ONE TERM (i.e. they need to be spent/utilised by the next term), after which they expire. Credits can only be used towards booking of classes (term courses, private classes or workshops) and not for retail (apparel, shoes or accessories).

Please refer to our website timetable for the most up-to-date schedule of classes. This schedule is regularly updated throughout the term, so it's useful to check back from time to time.

Your enrolment in class(es) is only confirmed once Breathe Dance Company has received full payment for your booking(s). Online banking payments via PayNow (for those with Singapore-based bank accounts) need to be completed at the time of booking in order to secure your spot - payment delays may result in your booking spot(s) being released.

All classes, privates, rentals and bookings must be paid up in full before they commence.

Once confirmed, you must attend classes in the term that they are purchased, as Breathe Dance Company will not defer or roll bookings over into subsequent terms.

WE DO NOT HOLD WAITLISTS FOR FULL / SOLD OUT CLASSES.


CHANGE REQUESTS

Any request to change the day/time of a previously booked term course must be made before the start of the term. You will need to top up the difference in course fee if you are making a change to a course of a higher value.

NO CLASS CREDIT will be issued for switching to a course of a lower value, so please consider your classes and commitments carefully before making your bookings.

There is a $20 administrative fee per change request if:

  • the change is due to your signing up for a class level that you are not ready for or qualified to take (and did not seek clearance with an instructor prior to booking)
  • multiple change requests are submitted within the same term booking period


MINIMUM ENROLMENT, CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULES

We close term bookings ONE WEEK before term begins and a term course will be closed (i.e. not start) if it has fewer than our required minimum of 6 sign-ups (unless otherwise stated).

While Breathe Dance Company reserves the right to cancel, reschedule or change any class/course, trial, pole practice or workshop up to and including the date of its scheduled occurrence, we will make every effort to notify those enrolled as promptly as possible, and offer alternative options such as:

  • Enrolling in another class without incurring an administrative fee, or
  • Receiving class credits if a suitable alternative isn't available - credits will be valid for one term (8 weeks) from the date of issue


    MAKE-UP CLASSES

    If you are unable to attend your scheduled class, you can attend a make-up class of the same class type on another day/time within the same term - provided that the class is not full (eg. Lyrical 1 on Monday can make up in Lyrical 1 on Wednesday; or Lyrical 2 Tuesday can make up in Lyrical 2 on Saturday).

    You may also attend any of the following classes as a make-up option:

    • Stretch
    • Bulletproof
    • Pole Techniques classes suitable to your level

    All make-up class requests are to be posted on our private Facebook student group for enrolled students, and tagging the relevant instructors.

    • Make-up classes may be taken in advance if you know your work/travel schedule ahead of time.
    • There is no class credit/refund if you cannot attend any of the available make-up options.

     

    PUNCTUALITY & STUDIO ETIQUETTE

    PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE as you will not be allowed to participate in class past 5 minutes into warm-ups.

    Being on time is for your own safety and injury-prevention. We ask that you respect both our instructors and other students by showing up on time as tardiness is disruptive to the classroom experience we aim to provide.

    We recommend that students arrive with enough time allowance to get changed and ready for class.

    Please DON’T:

    • Wear jewellery during class (rings, bracelets, big/dangling earrings, anklets) - it could injure you and will damage our poles. You will be asked to remove your jewellery before class.
    • Use moisturisers or body lotions/oils on the day of class.
    • Use iTac or Monkey/Molly grip on our poles.
    • Lean on or put hands/feet on our mirrors.
    • Disrupt class by talking loudly while waiting for your own class to start - this includes phone calls, and you may be asked to leave the room.
    • Eat or drink in our studios (with the exception of your own bottled water).


    ATTIRE

    Please wear proper attire when participating in classes at our studio.

    • Proper attire includes athletic wear such as opaque fitted shorts, sports bras and/or tank tops, or opaque leggings.
    • Transparent/see-through material is not allowed. G-strings / thongs / peekaboo lingerie is not meant for public display in our studio and you will be asked to change into appropriate wear or not be allowed to participate in class.
    • Proper underwear IS required UNDER your pole shorts/polewear bottoms at all times.
    • No undergarments or lingerie is allowed to be used in place of workout attire.
    • Please do not walk around public spaces - such as the corridors, stairwells, lift landings or reception areas - in your underwear or pole gear.
    • Footwear in the studio is limited to indoor-only dancing heels. No outside/street footwear allowed.


    HYGIENE - PERSONAL & PUBLIC

    • Please be aware and mindful of personal hygiene - underwear is a MUST under your pole shorts or bikini bottom.
    • We prefer well-tended gardens. Please prune unruly bushes and bring out the weedwhacker if needed.
    • A shower (or at least a wet-wipe) prior to class on a long, hot, humid day is VERY much appreciated.
    • Wipe down your pole after using it (with studio-approved alcohol solution), as well as the floor around you.
    • Please enjoy the bathrooms, facilities and amenities as if they were your own, and keep them clean and tidy for others to use after you.

    PHOTOS, VIDEOS & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

    PLEASE RESPECT THE PRIVACY AND RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

    Taking pictures and filming instructors demonstrating moves and/or routines during class without explicitly requesting their permission to do so is STRICTLY PROHIBITED, and you will be asked to delete such content.

    You may take pictures and/or film yourself during class, without encroaching on the privacy of others around you.

    Please refrain from uploading full routines to online platforms. All our choreographies are the creative hard work and intellectual property of Breathe Dance Company and must not be published in full.

    Please do not instruct/teach any of Breathe Dance Co's choreographies to others outside of our studio. This is intellectual theft.

    IMPORTANT: Any content, photos or videos featuring our studio premises is not to be used for any means of financial gain.

       

      WEEK 8 - SHOWTIME

      We host one SHOWTIME performance on Saturday in the 8th week of every term, where students can perform their term choreographies and invite friends and family to watch, at no charge.

       

      POLE PRACTICE

      1.5-hour unsupervised Pole Practice spots may be made available upon request, depending on the availability of rooms.

      Pole Practice bookings are final and non-refundable. If you are unable to attend a Pole Practice session that you have booked, please find someone to take over and email welcome@breathedance.co about the name swop 24 hours before the practice session starts, otherwise your session is forfeited.

      No-shows or missed practice sessions for any reason will not be refunded.

      Each Pole Practice booking is for one person and no sharing of poles is allowed.

      For your own safety during Pole Practice, do not accept instruction from anyone except a trained instructor from our studio. Breathe Dance Company is not liable for any injuries that might result from unsupervised Pole Practice sessions and/or from attempting moves under the guidance of non-instructors.

       

      AGE IS (NOT JUST) A NUMBER

      Our scheduled courses are for adults aged 18 years and above. 

      If you are under the age of 18, we require signed consent from a parent or legal guardian before you are permitted to take a class or schedule a private session, party or space rental.

      We will not tolerate behaviour that is rude, unkind, ageist, racist, sexist, homophobic, body-shaming, discriminatory or disruptive in any way, and we will not hesitate to eject or refuse entry to anyone who acts in any manner that undermines these values.
