RULES AND RESPONSIBILITY OF DANCERS

We would like to bring a few things to your attention regarding the tuition fees, as well as the classes you have signed up for.

The account system currently in use must be adjusted every time when you decide to dance at more or less classes due to other commitments, illness, family, work or holidays. This takes time to do and can lead to errors. It also complicates our planning and monthly budget!

Please keep in mind that:

Rainbow Line Dancing/Leon is responsible for all expenses of the Dance School. He is under contract with every hall where we dance, i.e., Blairgowrie Recreation Centre, Roosevelt Park Recreation Centre, Discovery Recreation Centre, Little Steps Studio and the Norscot Manor Recreation Centre.The times classes are offered are calculated by the hour and Leon must pay the bill at the end of each month OR we will be suspended from the hall and the contract cancelled.The cost of the hall for our parties and competitions is an extra expense which must be covered, that is the reason why an entrance fee is charged.If you do not attend, the rent for the hall still must be paid. It does not decrease if someone stays away or leaves for a while. We do have this policy which allows you to make up a class or classes, for which you have paid for but missed, at another venue and on the same level you are currently dancing.Your monthly payment remains on the same level while not being able to attend classes.You are only entitled to ‘make up’ a maximum of 4 x 1-hour classes for lessons missed - a month for 1 class per week or four weeks for 2 or 3 classes a week. The 'make up' class has to be within the same month as the one you missed a lesson in.....NB!!! A full calendar months’ notice is required if a person decides to stop dancing. This is valid from the 1st to the 30th of the month – for which full payment must be made.

Please help us to keep Rainbow Line Dancing going and a continuously joy to all of us!

Thank you kindly, MAGDA BESTER - Administrative officer. magdabester@mweb.co.za

PRACTICE:

One can train one’s eyes, one’s body, one’s hands and feet until, with practice, they sort of “get to know.”

One no longer has to “think” to set up the stove or park the car; one just DOES it.

In any activity, quite a bit of what passes for ‘TALENT” is really just PRACTICE!

PLEASE submit any news articles or info for the "NEWS" before the 20th of the month for inclusion in the next issue!

DO YOU "LIKE" OUR "NEWS" Booklet?

Have any IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS? Let Leon or Magda know.

NB! PLEASE:
