TERMS / INFO please read before booking
Whilst most of this won't apply to the majority of you, we just want to be upfront with our terms so there are no surprises, please cast an eye over it to make sure you're happy :)
FEES
The cost of our classes in 2024 is £9 per 1-hour session, paid via online card payment in blocks of about 6 classes, plus a fee equivalent to £1.25 per week for access to our online video resources (over 400 tutorial videos)* see below.
Sorry, we can't admit people without a booking and are unable to accept cash in person or over the phone payments. We don't offer one-off taster sessions as our classes are generally fully booked before term starts and we'd like you to do at least a block of classes to get a feel for what we teach.
Once you've made your booking the place is secured for you and refunds are only available if the block has not started yet AND you give at least 3 weeks notice to withdraw, via email. A £5 admin fee is deducted from all refunds.
There is no requirement to book further classes beyond the first block, nor to continue the video subscription, but we hope that those new joiners booking on will only take up a place if they are in a position to attend most weeks and have the intention to continue beyond the first block. Tai chi can't be learnt in a matter of a few weeks. We hope to attract a core of keen new joiners who will become 'classmates' and progress together. If that sounds like something you want - then please book on :)
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
If you have a pre-existing health condition and are uncertain whether you should exercise, please check with your healthcare provider as we cannot advise on any medical condition you may have. This is a term of our Insurance - we aren't doctors and can't say if exercise is safe for you or not.
ILLNESS/ HOLIDAY /MISSING CLASS
We generally stop in school holidays (no fees due) but as we are on the border of three different education authorities or if your child / grandchild is in private education you may find our blocks of classes overlap with school holidays by a week or so now and then
If you have ANY cold-like symptoms please do not attend a class until all symptoms have gone, so that the rest of the group can enjoy the class without fear of catching something. This means you will receive the same courtesy in return.
If you miss a class in a block you've paid for, the fee for the place we keep for you in that class is still applicable. We hope that you'll be able to spare 20-30 minutes at home to use your video catchups (see below). If you are going away and want to continue when you return, then the fee for your absence needs to be paid before you go away in order to keep your spot in the class.
You can choose to leave the class and not renew the next block . The place will be offered to someone else waiting to join. A re-joining fee of £25 will apply if you leave and then re-join our school within a six-month period.
ONLINE VIDEO SHANNEL
It's an ad-free video resource of over 400 tutorial videos, featuring our instructor Cherry, teaching all the sets of exercises you'll learn in class, each move broken down in detail just as it is in class, plus full set follow along videos. This resource forms part of the course and should be utilised in weeks when there is no class or if you have to miss a session and to boost your learning between classes. The more you practice the more benefit you will feel.
JOINING AFTER THE START OF TERM
It may be possible to join a class after the term has started but this is dependant upon how far the group have got and whether there are any spaces left at that time. In this instance we insist that you take the video library to catch up on what you have missed. Alternatively, you can wait until the group start a new set of exercises later in the year and join at that time, spaces permitting.
Contact us to go on the waiting list of classes above are already full and we will be in touch when it is possible to join.
