​

1.2. Scope of Agreement: This Agreement governs your access to and use of all physical location services, dance studio facilities, group classes, private lessons, special events, and digital properties owned, operated, or provided by the Company (collectively, the "Services"), including but not limited to:

​

1.3. Explicit Consent: By stepping onto our studio premises or dance locations where we teach, taking an in-person class, registering for private lessons, purchasing a gift certificate, or using our websites, you explicitly declare that you have read, understood, and unconditionally agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

​

II. IN-STUDIO OPERATIONS & RESERVATION POLICIES

​

2.1. Private Lesson Attendance & 24-Hour Cancellation Policy:

Private lessons are highly tailored individual sessions reserved exclusively for you.

​

• The 24-Hour Rule: If you need to cancel or reschedule a scheduled private lesson, you must provide notice at least twenty-four (24) hours before the lesson's scheduled start time.

​

• Late Cancellations & No-Shows: Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or complete failure to show up for a lesson ("No-Show"), will result in the forfeiture of that lesson. The session will be deducted from your account balance, or you will be charged the full amount of the lesson. No refunds will be provided.

​

• Lateness: If you arrive late to a private lesson, your session will still end at its originally scheduled time so as not to delay subsequent students.

​

2.2. Package Expirations and Non-Refundability: All single dance classes, group class passes, promotional wedding packages, and private lesson packages are completely non-refundable and non-transferable to other individuals. Furthermore, all packages carry strict expiration windows starting from the date of purchase:

​

• Single classes or drop-ins expire within 30 days.

​

• Standard multi-class packages or private lesson bundles expire within 180 days unless stated otherwise in writing. Unused classes after the expiration date are permanently forfeited.

​

2.3. Facility Codes of Conduct & Right to Refuse Service: To maintain our signature friendly, stress-free, and high-energy atmosphere, all students must behave respectfully toward instructors and peers.

​

• Footwear Policy: To preserve our professional dance floors, students must wear clean, indoor-only dance shoes, smooth-soled shoes, or socks. Shoes with sharp heels, metal spikes, or street shoes carrying outdoor debris are strictly prohibited on the dance floor.

​

• Refusal of Service: The Company reserves the absolute right to refuse entry, suspend accounts, or permanently ban any individual from the facility who exhibits disruptive behavior, harassment, intoxication, or acts that compromise the safety and comfort of our community.

​

III. PHYSICAL INJURY LIABILITY WAIVER & HEALTH DISCLAIMER 

​

3.1.

​

5.2. Florida Trade Secret Protection: Our unique, easy-to-learn system of instruction (including specialized leading techniques for gentlemen and styling/following mechanisms for ladies) constitutes a commercial trade secret under Florida’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Chapter 688, Florida Statutes).
