BDC LESSONS

Each dancer has a total of 10 lessons to book at the Broadway Dance Center (BDC) during their stay in New York.

Lessons can be freely selected among the different styles offered by BDC, based on the available schedule and considering the FINI DANCE program’s activities and rehearsals.

Booking will be available starting 48 hours before the selected lesson, after each dancer has registered on the BDC portal and their account has been linked to Fini Dance by the BDC system. The BDC staff may add a suffix to each participant’s account name, which must NOT be removed to avoid being disconnected from the group. Instructions for registration/account linking to Fini Dance and the activity schedule will be provided in the logistics WhatsApp group.

IMPORTANT: Booked lessons that are not attended will still be counted within the total provided.
Any cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the lesson start time; otherwise, the lesson will be considered as attended.

Policies and instructions for creating an account and booking lessons are available on the website http://broadwaydancecenter.com/about/new-students.

Extra lessons may be requested at a discounted rate of $25 (USD) per lesson, reserved exclusively for Fini Dance students. Requests for additional lessons must be communicated and approved by Fini Dance prior to booking, to prevent unintentional use of credits belonging to other program participants. If extra lessons are booked without prior notice, the related cost must be reimbursed to Fini Dance.

The complete list of activities and the locations of Fini Dance lessons will be communicated in the days leading up to the event through the WhatsApp group, to ensure the best possible organization and educational experience for all enrolled participants.

In case of cancellation by the client, the penalty applied will be 100% of the cost of the services. If the reason for cancellation falls within the insurance-covered conditions, a claim will be opened to refund the penalty only for the flight and hotel portion managed by the travel agency Tuquitour, net of the deductible, as indicated in the insurance information set.

STAGE

It is instead possible to hold the amount paid for the Masterclass fee only for the next event, usable within one year.

LOCATION

Lessons will be held between the City Center Studio, 130 West 56th Street, and other locations as indicated by the organization from time to time.
