Studio Policies
Private Lessons
The Introductory Lesson only applies to new students who have never taken a private or group dance lesson at any studio in the last 10 years, who are not preparing for a wedding
Lessons will begin at the scheduled lesson time
If the student is late, any missed time is forfeited
If the instructor is late, they will make up any missed time (possibly at a future date)
A Private Lesson is for a single or a couple with one instructor. If a lesson has more than two-students, it will be considered a Semi-Private lesson. Ask the Manger to find out more information about Semi-Private Lessons
Studio space is shared during Private Lessons and you are NOT guaranteed a private room. If you are interested in having private studio time, please ask for rental rates
Wedding Lessons
Wedding Lessons include choreography to your comfort level, music editing to the best of our abilities, one free social dance party to perform your first dance, and special wedding expertise from the instructor
No refunds will be given for any individual lwedding lessons that were paid for in advanced
Cancellations/ Rescheduling
We discourage cancelling lessons. It is always best to reschedule a lesson you are unable to attend
We will accept cancellations/reschedules via phone call, voice call, email, or text message*
Contact with the Studio Manager must be made to confirm Cancellation/Rescheduling
Student must contact the studio to cancel at least 24 hours prior to their scheduled lesson to avoid being charged
If you reschedule more than once in a calendar week, you will be charged one lesson
You will have a primary instructor.
If, for some reason, your primary instructor cannot make the lesson, you may have that scheduled lesson with a substitute instructor (whether they be male or female)
If you choose to cancel the scheduled lesson with the substitute instructor, you will be charged for your lesson
If you are able to reschedule your lesson for a later time in the week, either with your primary or substitute instructor, you can avoid cancellation charge
You may pay for one lesson at a time: payment is due at the time of scheduling
A late fee of $10 will be charged to any individual lesson not paid for at the time of scheduling
All packages must be paid in full prior to the first lesson of the package
Any lesson scheduled that has not been paid for will be considered tentative and can be cancelled at any time by TM Ballroom Staff
No refunds will be given for any individual lessons that were paid for in advanced

Standing Appointments

The class/party may be cancelled if fewer than 8 attend. Please be diligent about signing up for our Group Classes ahead of time
It’s always a good idea to double check the website’s calendar to confirm whether the group class/party is still scheduled or if it has been cancelled
