General Rules and Policies
Dance Shoes and Attire:
Appropriate attire is business casual. Appropriate dance shoes are required for the dance lesson. We can recommend stores and website where you can purchase these. Please inquire within. Please remember personal hygiene because dancing is an activity that requires close proximity.
Refund Policy & Expiration dates:
We understand that life can be unpredictable sometimes but as a business we need to plan ahead for the time of the dance instructors and other staff. Therefore, Imperial Ballroom Dance Center doesn’t provide any refunds under any circumstances. All services have an expiration date. All expiration dates are final. All prices are subject to change.
Cancellation & Rescheduling:
We work very hard to accommodate our students’ schedules while making sure our dance instructors have a balanced schedule as well. For all cancellations and rescheduling of private lessons, we require a 24-hour notice by phone or e-mail. If we receive your voicemail or e-mail a response will be sent back confirming change or cancellation. This is done to avoid you being charged for the full amount of the lesson.
GROUP DANCE CLASSES
Classes are a group activity.
We request that you follow the instructor’s routine. Group classes are 45 minutes in length. Group classes must be completed within the designated period. All expiration dates are final and there are no carry-overs. Students arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be admitted into the class.

Instructors and substitute instructors:
The same instructor cannot be guaranteed for the duration of the entire group class package.
Group Class Dance Levels:
Hudson Dance Studio’s program offers dance classes at 4 levels: Newcomer, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Newcomer level is for students who have attended our Newcomer dance classes for 4-6 months. Bronze is for students who have been dancing for at least a year. Silver and Gold is for dancers who have several years of dance experience. In order for the student to participate in any Bronze level dance classes, they need to obtain a certification. Every 3-4 months we organize a Next-step-party where this certification can be obtained. Students must obtain permission from instructors to advance to the next level of group classes. Please note that the class schedule is modified periodically to address students’ feedback and participation levels.
