A $5 administrative fee applies to each declined or failed transaction.

Late cancellations (under 2 hours) or no-shows will result in a $5 charge.
The first three (3) occurrences will be waived as a courtesy.
Repeated no-shows may result in temporary suspension of booking privileges.
6. Hygiene, Dress Code & Class Etiquette
At Salsa Beats, we take pride in maintaining a professional, welcoming, and respectful atmosphere for everyone.
Hygiene & Personal Care
Please arrive clean, with fresh clothing and appropriate use of deodorant.
Avoid strong perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions, as many dancers have sensitivities.
Hands should be washed or sanitized before class, especially for partner work.
If you are feeling unwell (cold, flu, fever, or contagious symptoms), do not attend class — this helps keep our community healthy.
Dress Code & What to Bring
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement.
Ladies: dance heels, jazz shoes, or clean indoor shoes that allow for balance and turning.
Gentlemen: smooth-soled shoes or dance sneakers or any other show that allows for keeping balance and turning (no outdoor footwear on the floor).
Bring a water bottle if needed.
Etiquette & Conduct
Treat instructors, staff, and fellow students with respect and kindness at all times.
Be mindful of personal space, body contact, and verbal communication during partner work.
Listen attentively during instruction and avoid teaching or correcting others unless invited to do so by the instructor.
Any form of harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior will result in immediate suspension or termination of membership without refund.
7. Suspension & Hold Policy
We understand that life happens. Members may place their membership on hold under certain circumstances:
One (1) hold may be requested per 12-month period for up to 4 consecutive weeks.
Holds must be requested in writing at least one week prior to the billing date.
Holds may be granted for injury, illness, extended travel, or other reasonable circumstances at Salsa Beats’ discretion.
Membership billing will resume automatically at the end of the hold period.
8. Class Cancellations by Salsa Beats
Salsa Beats reserves the right to cancel or reschedule classes due to instructor illness, facility issues, weather, or unforeseen events.
In such cases, every reasonable effort will be made to offer a make-up class
Cancellations beyond the school’s control (e.g., acts of nature, government shutdowns, etc.) do not warrant refunds but may be addressed through schedule adjustments.
There will be no classes held on statutory holidays based on Ontario's stat holiday calendar.
