PAYMENT
To streamline our payment process, we have implemented a convenient monthly subscription system. New students are offered a free trial session during their first week, followed by a settling-in period where classes are paid for on a pay-as-you-go basis until the end of the month. Subsequently, students are provided with a payment plan outlining monthly fees for the entire year in advance. Payments are due before the first of each month, and details can be found on our website's timetable page. We understand that circumstances may arise, so please feel free to reach out if you encounter any issues with payment. Please note that failure to pay fees may result in students being unable to attend classes or events. Additionally, we require one month's notice and payment for any class withdrawals. In the event of a cancelled class, alternative arrangements will be offered or fees will be deducted from the following month's payment.
