Terms & Conditions

Cancellations by Us:

Should Irish Pole Dance Academy have to cancel a course, a class, a workshop or event for any reason, either a full refund will be offered or if you are a member the cancelled class will not be subtracted from your membership credits. IPDA reserves the right to change time, date and instructor or classes or the timetable as necessary. Classes on the timetable often change and clients will be accommodated and given as much notice as possible. All membership options are flexible for both clients and instructors of Irish Pole Dance Academy and for this reason Irish Pole Dance Academy requests that everyone pre-books their classes to ensure viability.

Cancellations by You:

Class cancellations must be made no later than 24 hours prior to the class booked. Course cancellations must be made no later than 96 hours (3 days) prior the course start date and time for ‘Introduction to Pole Dance’. Workshop cancellations must be made no later than one week prior to the workshop start date and time.

Failure to cancel your class within this timeframe and / or failure to attend a booked class will result in this class will be debited or charged to your account.

We have limited space at our studio and we work very hard at maintaining comfortable class sizes. It’s not fair to us or anyone on our waiting lists if you book a class and don’t show up. If your class is not cancelled within the specified time it does not give us time to fill your place so no refunds will be issued.

‘Introduction to Pole Dance’ Course Terms & Conditions

  • Please note your course start and end dates, as well as your class start and end times.
  • The course dates may include Public Holidays and/or Bank Holidays.
  • Please be absolutely sure that you can make the course dates and that you wish to do the entire course before booking. Should you cancel within 96 hours (3days) of the course start date/time we cannot offer you a refund. (eg: If your course begins at 6pm on a Monday, we need notice of your cancellation no later than 6pm on the previous Thursday. This is because we have long waiting lists for this course: we need adequate time in the interest of fairness and respect to those on our waiting lists to offer your empty space to them).
  • It is not possible to opt out of the course once the course begins. Again, this is in the interest of fairness to those on our waiting lists.
  • Missed classes cannot be carried over past the course finish date or refunded. If you cannot attend an individual class, please give us 24 hours notice and we will do our best to accommodate you in one of our mixed level classes (eg: Flexibility training). We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate switching a class.
