PROSPEROUS ACADEMY OF DANCE AND MUSICAL THEATRE
Terms and Conditions 2025
These T&Cs apply to all students and their parents/guardians and must be adhered to while your child is enrolled at Prosperous Academy of Dance and Musical Theatre.
By completing registration, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Fees
- Fees are due on the 20th of each month (e.g., on 20th September, you pay for October).
- Fees must be paid monthly and apply to all scheduled classes, including those missed due to personal holidays and illness.
- We are closed for four weeks per year: two weeks in summer and two weeks at Christmas. These weeks are not included in your payment, we remove them when calculating the yearly total
That total is then evenly split across 12 months, so your monthly payment remains the same year-round, making budgeting easier for families.
- A £5 late fee will be applied per child if payment is not received by the 20th of the month. For example, if you are 3 weeks late you have a £15 late fee added onto your invoice.
- If you wish to discontinue classes, a one-month written notice is required. Notice must be given before the 20th of the month to avoid being charged for the following month.
- Payments must be made via our website through Class4Kids or the alternative payment method provided.
Attendance
- Regular attendance is essential for student progress.
- If your child is unable to attend a class, please notify our admin team as early as possible via email or text message.

Hair
- Students must wear their hair in a middle-parting bun for every class.
- Students with Afro/Textured hair may wear cornrows or braids, as long as long braids are tied up securely.
- If your child's hair length does not allow for a bun, it should still be neatly pulled back and away from the face.

Uniform
