Dhoonya Dance

Cancellations or Missed Classes

• Payments are non-refundable. Students can make-up missed classes within 3 months of date of purchase during any drop-in class (for Kids classes, any class at the same level).
• If unable to make up classes within 3 months, email info@dhoonyadance.com for an extension. $5.00 per class for a 3-month extension.
• Dhoonya Dance reserves the right to cancel any class due to low enrollment. Enrolled students will receive the option of transferring their payment to another course or will receive a refund.
• Class cancellations due to inclement weather or events out of Dhoonya Dance’s control, will be emailed and posted on the website (www.dhoonyadance.com). Classes canceled for these reasons will not be rescheduled; however students may make up the class in the same manner as a “missed class”. For courses such as DhoonyaKids where alternate classes are not readily available, any member of the family can use the class credit towards a drop-in class. Please note refunds cannot be issued due to cancellations outside of Dhoonya Dance control.
• In the event that an instructor must cancel a class for personal or non-weather related reasons and is unable to find a substitute, the instructor will either offer a make up class before the start of the next session or will extend classes to make up the time.

Dress Code

• Indian styles of dance are traditionally done in bare feet. Students can dance barefoot or wear ballet/rubber-soled jazz shoes (no black or hard-soled shoes or street shoes). We recommend that you do not dance in socks as it is easy to slip and get hurt.
• Adults should wear comfortable, workout clothing. Dhoonya Tees and capris available on the products page.
• Kids should wear their Dhoonya Dance t-shirts to class along with stretchable pants (no jeans or skirts).
• Jazz shoes or supportive indoor footwear is recommended for regular DhoonyaFit students.
• Adults can wear comfortable workout clothing. (No jeans or skirts)
