Dress Code
The official dress code for competitions is regulated by the B.D.C (British
Dance Council) for competitors taking part in open competitions. E.A.D.A. (English
Amateur Dance Association) have published an overview of these rules as a guide
to parents.

Excellence Coaching
Excellence Coaching Scheme fees will be negotiated and agreed between
the Excellence Coaches and DanceSport Academy. Appointments
for Personal Training must be made through DanceSport Academy.
The Excellence Coaches will not accept any direct contact regarding lessons.
Where personal training lessons are booked the terms and conditions of the Excellence Coach will apply. If a personal training lesson is cancelled at short notice the Excellence Coach MAY expect you to pay for the session. All cancellations must be reported to DanceSport Academy as quickly as possible, we will then see if it is possible to arrange a substitute. In the event DanceSport Academy cannot then a fee may be payable (charging for late cancellation of lessons is standard practice in the industry).
Demonstrations
All club members should seek the approval of Bedford Amateur DanceSport
Club before agreeing to perform any dance demonstrations.
