Disclaimer

Dance education requires “hands-on” instruction, as well as verbal instruction. Instructors will regularly correct students by touching their arms, legs, feet, hips, back and head or dance in close position. Instructors will also verbally correct students during class. If a student feels uncomfortable with this, they should communicate that directly with the instructor.

Dance steps taught at La Fuerza are part of an original choreography and we own the rights. Any reenactment/use will require express permission. Any use of this choreography without permission will be reported.

INJURIES

La Fuerza is not responsible and will not be held liable for any injuries that occur on the Studio’s premises and outside. Students need to advise us on their health conditions before hand so we can plan the most optimal classes for the student.

La Fuerza has a NO REFUND Policy. All purchases are final and non-refundable. The Studio may issue credit if a document from a doctor is presented to prove that the student is not allowed to attend classes prior to the expiration of a package.

Private lessons have to be cancelled at least 24 hours before the private lesson is scheduled to begin. Late cancellations are non refundable and the student loses their ability to reschedule to a later date.

Scheduled classes cancelled by the student without sufficient notice as described above will be deemed completed and are non-refundable.
