terms & conditions

Commitment to Excellence: Welcome to the Elite Dancers Academy competition team. Joining our team signifies a journey of growth, discipline, and competitive spirit. We expect each dancer to uphold the standards of Elite both in skill and dedication.

Membership and Expectations:

  • Commitment: A 12-month commitment is required from each team member, reflecting dedication to continuous improvement and team cohesion throughout the competition season (September to July).
  • Attendance: Full attendance in all competition classes at Elite is mandatory unless exceptional circumstances arise. Each rehearsal hour is crucial for the success of our team at competitions.
  • Technique Classes: In addition to competition classes, members must attend a minimum of two technique classes per week at Elite. Eligible classes include ballet, jazz, or acro. Mastery in these disciplines supports overall performance quality.
  • Uniform Policy: Uniforms are to be worn at all rehearsals and competitions without exception, promoting a professional and unified team appearance.


Competition Participation:

  • Competition Day Expectations:
    • Team Support: All dancers must remain at the competition venue until the results and awards ceremony has concluded to support the team, regardless of individual or group outcomes.
    • Preparation: Dancers must arrive in their first costume with hair and makeup ready. All necessary costumes, makeup, and hair accessories should be brought to the competition.
    • Costume Responsibility: It is the dancer’s responsibility to care for and maintain their costumes. Elite is not liable for any expenses incurred in replacing or rectifying lost or damaged costumes. All related costs are the responsibility of the dancer or their guardians.
  • Availability: Members must be available for as many competitions as possible at Elite. Please communicate any unavailable dates as early as possible.
  • Scheduling Conflicts: If you are unavailable for an upcoming competition at the Elite Dancers Academy, it is essential to communicate this as early as possible. In such cases, you will be removed from the choreography for that specific event. While you will not participate in the competition, attendance at technique classes at Elite remains mandatory to continue developing your skills and to prepare for future opportunities.


Exclusive Training:

  • Elite Only: As a member of the competition team, your dance training must be exclusively conducted at the Elite Dancers Academy. Representing Elite means committing fully to our training methods, which are designed to maintain a high standard of performance and ensure consistent progress. It would be unfair to other establishments to receive training from them while representing Elite in competitions, as it could lead to conflicts in training philosophies and practices.


Social Media and Communication:

  • Engagement: All parents and competitive students must follow our @edacompteam private Instagram page. Weekly videos of choreography will be posted, which students are required to practice at home.
  • Confidentiality: Choreography and content posted on @edacompteam must not be shared with anyone outside of the team.


Parent and Guardian Support:

  • We rely on the support and involvement of our dance parents at Elite. Your commitment helps ensure that our dancers have everything they need to succeed.


Conduct and Compliance:

  • Disciplinary Actions: Non-compliance with these terms may lead to actions such as suspension from performances or reassignment to non-competitive classes temporarily at the Elite Dancers Academy.
  • Team Spirit: We expect all members to contribute positively to the team environment, supporting and uplifting one another at Elite.


GDPR and Data Protection:

  • For information on how we handle your data, please refer to the ‘Data Protection Policy’ on our Terms & Conditions section of the website.


Acknowledgement and Agreement: By joining the Elite Dancers Academy competition team, you agree to adhere to these terms and conditions. This agreement supports our mutual goal of achieving dance excellence and maintaining the high standards of our academy.
