These terms apply when you book and attend a Salsa Magic class, including any Beginner 1 course, Special Course, Drop In class or Private Lesson (collectively referred to as a ‘Class’ or ‘Classes’ in these terms), and for our Salsa Magic Membership packages. 


Our Class Schedule

The most up to date versions of our Class Schedule is maintained on our website. 


Our Classes run through the year from late-January until mid-December. Our regular ongoing classes take a two week break in the middle of the year. 


From time to time we update our Class Schedule. We reserve the right to add, change or remove classes, and change instructors on our timetables at any time. 


Your Health 

Dancing is a fantastically fun form of exercise. But any form of exercise can cause physical injury, or create or increase risk for certain health conditions. You acknowledge that there are risks of physical injury or to your health that may result from participating in Salsa Magic Classes, and you voluntarily assume the risks associated with your participation. Our teachers are not medically qualified to assess if you are fit to exercise without risking your health. You acknowledge that it’s your sole responsibility to seek medical advice as required before starting or while coming to Classes with us.


Your information

We collect and hold personal information provided by you when you sign up to our classes, Membership packages, and events. We use this information to provide our Classes and events, and notify you of information relevant to our Classes, events and Membership. We may provide this information to third parties for the purposes of our studio management system (including our Salsa Magic Glofox App) and direct debit payments, for the purpose of running our events, or if otherwise required by law.


You can request the update or deletion of your information at any time.


Allowing us to use your image

We sometimes film and/or photograph Classes, performance team trainings, parties, our events and other activities at our studio. It is possible that you will appear in these materials. By accepting these terms, you grant us the unrestricted right and permission to use your image in printed or digital promotional material including, but not limited to: websites, social media, flyers, banners and videos. If your image does feature in our promotional material and you would prefer that it did not, just let us know and we will change it if it is reasonably practicable to do so. 


Cancelling pre-booked Classes

If you book and pay in advance for any of our classes, Beginner 1 courses, Special Courses or a private lesson, you may cancel and receive back the pre-paid class credit or a refund (as applicable) for your booking up until 24 hours before the start of that class, course or private lesson. 


You acknowledge and agree that if you cancel a pre-booked Class less than 24 hours before that Class is due to start, you will lose the pre-paid class credit or payment (as applicable) for the Class. 


We do not offer refunds or partial refunds for unused class credits or unattended courses.

A celebratory dance move required on sign up. This clause is legally enforceable upon reasonable request from our Front Desk Team!


Your Membership is yours, it is non-transferable. 


Changes to your Membership plan

You may upgrade your Membership at any time. 


If you are on a ‘cancel anytime/ Membership, or if you are on a minimum term Membership and the minimum term has been completed, you can downgrade your Membership anytime. An administration fee of $25 applies to any Membership downgrade. 


Pausing your Membership

You can pause your Membership for 1-2 months once every six months. There will be an administration fee of $25.

Minimum term Memberships: If you wish to cancel your Membership before the end of the minimum term, any Membership fees owed for the remainder of the term must be paid prior to cancellation. There will also be an administration fee of $25. If your cancellation request is due to sickness, being incapacitated, or circumstances beyond your reasonable control, we will seek to agree a reasonable refund reduction with you.


We may end your Membership with us at any time with 2 weeks’ notice.


Please submit any Membership upgrade, downgrade, freeze or cancellation request by email to salsamagic.nz@gmail.com for us to process and for our records.


Membership payment terms - direct debits

You agree to pay your Membership fees from your nominated bank account via the direct debit of your nominated bank account up until your Membership is ended.

It is your responsibility to ensure that there is enough money in your account for your direct debit payments.


Your Memberships fees will be debited from your account on the same day weekly in advance.

Changes to our fees and/or these terms

From time to time, we may change our fees and/or update these terms. 


If we do change our fees or update these terms, we will give you notice of those changes. 


If you are on a Salsa Magic Membership package, you can choose not to accept changes to our Membership fees or these Membership terms as the case maybe, and cancel your Membership by giving us notice by email to salsamagic.nz@gmail.com within 14 days of our notice to you, or otherwise as noted in these terms.
