Students can either choose to join the six week program or ‘pay-as-you-go’ to attend specific weeks only.

Egwu Ngala dance series is a monthly dance program where the theme for each month focuses on building one of the nine key Igbo dance principles: Respect, Resilience, Confidence, Integrity, Excellence, Serving others, Authenticity, Unity and Hardwork.

Junior Classes are reserved for children aged 3-12 years old, while the standard classes are for children and adults 13 years and over.

Attendance Policy

Each class has a section where students learn a choreography, which is built upon from week to week. For students who have enrolled in the six week course, their attendance to all classes is crucial to ensure preparedness for the end-of-series performance.

Lateness Policy

Students are expected to arrive on time. Dance is a physical activity that requires the body to be warmed up in order to execute movement safely. Late students miss the proper warm-up and therefore may sustain an injury. Students should arrive on time to classes to allow for prompt beginning of the class and to prevent distraction to other students caused by late arrival.

Dress Code & Lost Property Policy

Students must wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the type of activity they will engage with during the dance class. Should the dance instructor deem the attire unsafe, NK Dance Services reserves the right to prevent the student from taking part in the activity, due to health and safety reasons.

NK Dance Services do not accept responsibility for items lost or stolen, although anything found will be placed in lost property.

Behavior Policy

The Student shall follow the Teacher’s instructions and are expected to behave in a polite manner. They are expected to listen and are discouraged from unnecessary talking. If a student is causing disruption to others’ learning they may be asked to leave the lesson.
Any unacceptable behavior from students and/or parents/carers will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behavior by students may result in exclusion from current and/or further activities. Parents or family members may be banned from premises, events and/or performances.

Anti-Bullying Policy

NK Dance Services recognize that every one has the right to enjoy a life free from bullying; therefore we will always take seriously all allegations of bullying and are committed to deal with it effectively when it does happen. We will always endeavor to work with students and parents to prevent it from happening.
