Class policies
The refund, retake and referral policies below
apply only to weekly Groove Juice Swing class
sessions, and do not apply to workshop events
such as Northeast Girl Jam, Stompology, or Slow Dance
Soiree.
Our refund policy
Refunds on class registrations may be issued at the instructors'
discretion before the start of the first class. Refunds for online
payments will only be considered up to 30 days after payment is
received. Contact us at info@groovejuiceswing.com for clarification
or questions.
Our retake policy
In the interest of providing the best dance education possible
to its students, Groove Juice Swing's policy is to allow students
to retake any core curriculum class (Swing 1-3, Balboa 1-2,
Charleston 1-2, Solo Jazz 1-2) at 1/2 normal price at any time.
To be eligible for any discount, students must have taken and
completed a full session in the specified class, in whichever role
they plan to retake that class. Leaders planning to retake the
class as followers (and vice versa) are expected to register and
pay for the class normally. Students retaking Swing 1 do not
receive the free entry to Lindy Jam perk, sorry!
Should a student decide to retake an intro level class, he or
she has two options for registration:
- Mail-in registration: Students
should print out and mail in the registration form as is the normal
procedure. Do not include payment; in the "additional info" section
at the bottom of the form the student should include a note
indicating that he or she is retaking the class. Any balance will
be collected at the door.
- Online registration: Students
should follow the link for online registration, complete the online
form and "Submit" as is the normal procedure. Do not continue to
the payment procedure via PayPal; the student should send an email
to info@groovejuiceswing.com after
registering to indicate that he or she is retaking the class. Any
balance will be collected at the door.
Students should be aware that first-time, full-paying students
are the group's priority. In the eventuality of students needing
individual attention from teachers, whether inside or outside of
class, paying students will be given first priority before any
student taking advantage of the retake policy.
Although there is no official policy that limits the number of
times a student may retake a certain class, the group may decide to
deny a student the retake opportunity if it feels the student will
not be able to gain any additional experience from the class.
Our refer-a-friend policy
We are always excited to have new students. Groove Juice Swing
offers a discount to students who sign up a friend and "spread the
love".
Any student who refers another will receive a $5 discount off
the price of any one class session. We can only offer this discount
once per student per class session; there are no additional
discounts for referring multiple friends.
To be eligible, a student (and the student's friend) must make
it known at the time of registration that he/she is taking
advantage of this policy, and both must be registering for a
scheduled upcoming class session. There are two options for doing
this:
- Mail-in registration: Students
should print out and mail in the registration form as is the normal
procedure. In the "additional info" section at the bottom of the
form the student should include a note indicating the name of the
friend that he or she is referring, and submit the modified payment
amount.
- Online registration: Students
should follow the link for online registration, complete the online
form and "Submit" as is the normal procedure. Do not continue to
the payment procedure via PayPal; the student should send an email
to info@groovejuiceswing.com after
registering to indicate the name of the friend that he or she is
referring. Groove Juice Swing will contact those students
registering in this manner with payment instructions.
Refer-a-friend for Swing 1
Any student who has already completed Swing 1 may retake it for
free when a friend of theirs pays in full for the same session. We
can only offer this discount once per student per class session;
there are no additional discounts for referring multiple friends.
To claim this offer, email us after you and your friend are both
registered (your friend pays, and you should not).
Class size policy
In the case where there are 3 or less students signed up for a
class, we will hold the first class of the series as planned, but
may cancel the remaining weeks (usually 3) and refund 75% of each
student's payment for the series. This choice will be up to the
descretion of the class instructors at the time.
Due to space limitations, classes are capped at 50 people. In
the case where more than 50 people sign up, we may split into two
smaller groups.
Snow policy
We do our best to hold class as normal throughout this snowy
season. However, if roads are dangerous and class needs to be
canceled and rescheduled, we will email students and post on social
media by noon the day of class. For
this reason, please make sure to provide an accurate email so we
can reach you on these occasions.
Make up/review classes
For Swing 1, we offer $5 half-hour group review sessions
directly preceding each class, weeks 2, 3 & 4. This is for
students who miss a week to make up the material, and also for
those who want a little more time with the instructors. RSVPs are
requested via email to each class session's instructors. Make
up/review sessions for other classes are held on an as requested
basis at the discretion and availability of the instructors. Please
contact Info@groovejuiceswing.com with any questions or to request
a review!
