Payment Terms
Fees are payable at the start of each term (September, January and May)
Fees secure your child’s place in their classes for the full term
As classes are structured and spaces are limited, fees are not refundable for missed sessions due to illness or holidays.
Term Structure
Our timetable runs across approximately 33 teaching weeks per academic year.
Where one term is shorter (e.g. 10 weeks), another term will be longer to ensure consistency across the year.
Notice Period
We require half a term’s notice (or the equivalent in fees) when a student leaves the academy. This allows us to manage class spaces fairly and maintain continuity for all students.
Joining Brooks Dance Academy
We understand that moving schools can be difficult due to notice periods. To support a smooth transition, we are happy to offer a discount equivalent to any outstanding notice period from your previous school (with proof of invoice), allowing students to join us without delay.

Competitions and Events
Our teachers attend many competitions and events to support students and ensure a positive experience. Much of this time is given in addition to their teaching commitments.
