All lessons and classes must be booked in advance through our online-booking system or at the studio. A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required for booking,  or rescheduling. Rescheduled lessons for private dance lessons made less than 24 hours before the intended original scheduled lesson will be charged $30 late cancellation fee. A Boston Ballroom® invoice will be sent to the client or deducted from the remaining gift certificate amount. To make a private dance lesson appointment please use the Boston Ballroom Member Link on the Home Page. To reschedule your private dance lesson sign in to your account online.

• Late Arrival:

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise.  However, if you arrive late for a lesson or class, the session will still end at the scheduled time, and you will be charged the full rate.  Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled lesson time. Teachers have clients scheduled one right after the other with no breaks. Please be courteous and respectful of teachers and other students by arriving and finishing your dance lesson on time. 

• No Refund Policy:

All purchases, including lessons, classes, memberships, gift certificates and dance lesson packages, are non-refundable. All sales online or in the studio are final. No refund policy for all dance programs offered and purchased by clients.

Dance Lessons, memberships and packages have specific validity periods. It is your responsibility to use all lessons within the designated time frame.

• Attire and Hygiene:

Please wear appropriate workout attire, formal wear, or dancewear, and clean dress shoes or dance shoes during your dance lessons. Clients with strong body odors or unclean clothing may be asked to leave the studio.

• Cell Phone Usage:

To maintain a focused and respectful environment, please silence your cell phone during lessons. If you need to take a call, please step outside the studio to minimize disruption to others. Video recording in lessons or classes is at the discretion of your teacher. Such recordings are for your own personal study and are not otherwise authorized for replication, distribution or being shared to a third party.
