Dance Session

Weekly one session (45min). Number of classes varies each term and the fee is per term basis.

More than one child from the same family (excluding cousins and relatives) will be given 10% discount on the total fee.

No classes will be conducted on statutory / public holidays.

If a student misses a class, the class will not be covered. In case the school has to cancel a class due to some unforeseen circumstances, a substitute class will be arranged.

Term fee must be paid in FULL at the beginning of each term, else your child will not be allowed in the class.

No refunds are allowed on any classes you miss. If you decide to stop classes at any point during the term, there will strictly be no refunds for remaining classes

Regarding dance classes/programmes:

It is advised that students (girls) wear Shalwar Kameez during the dance class as it gives them more flexibility and is a tradition.

All the students are given adequate exposure to participate in the programs.

Rachana Natyalaya will be conducting school dance shows, and every student is encouraged to participate in the school dance program.

When a student is selected for a dance program, parents should make sure their child attends all the practices and be prepared with the costume(s)/jewellery/makeup material etc., and pay the fee, if any.

In some circumstances, a program practice class is considered a regular class and will be counted towards the term class.

If we have to hire a hall for program practices, there may be additional charges and payable by all the students participating in the program.

Students participating in the programs may need to spend money for their costume and makeup.

There will be no fixed batches; those who perform well will be automatically shifted to the next available advanced batch.

The latest items choreographed and practised at school are NOT to be performed at your private functions, as we need to perform them on stage in a group representing the school. Under certain circumstances, students may attain permission.

Rachana Natyalaya offers individual lessons to students who want to learn a dance item to perform for their private function. Contact us for more details.

Rachana Natyalaya also takes orders for Classical costumes, jewellery, makeup material etc. Items (costume / jewellery / video DVD etc.) once sold cannot be returned or exchanged, and no refund will be given as these items will be specially ordered for you from overseas, so please choose and order carefully.

Parents / Guardians / Grand Parents are NOT allowed inside the classroom while the class is going on. This helps us focus on the class without any disturbance and loss of concentration to the teacher and students while choreographing / practicing an item. As a parent, you can check your child’s progress by discussing with the teacher. Moreover, if necessary, you will be given a time to watch your child’s class. We expect everyone will follow this procedure please. Trained Dance Instructors and Specialization students will be conducting classes as part of their teaching skills training to the junior students.

Rachana Natyalaya will be sending emails or texts related to classes, programs and any other special info from time to time. School programme videos and photos will be published on our websites, YouTube and Facebook pages and you explicitly (the parent) give permission for all digital publishing and receiving the texts and emails.

Term fee must be paid in FULL and in ADVANCE before the 2nd class of the term or else students will risk exclusion from classes and programmes.
