Payment Terms
Fees are payable at the start of each term (September, January and May). You have the option to pay in one instalment or two instalments.
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.
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.
We also rely on the support of our parent community for backstage supervision as trained volunteer chaperones at events, helping to create a safe and well-organised environment for all dancers.
Participation in competitions and troupe work is optional and designed for students who wish to take their training further.
