You may cancel your registration and get a full refund when you contact the Academy more than 48 hours before the start of class. When you contact us with less than 48 hours notice, your fee is not refundable

24-hour Session Transfer

To transfer your registration to the next time the class is offered, contacting the Academy 24 or more hours before the start of class. We can transfer your registration to the same class only! 2-class combos are transferrable to the same pairing of classes. If the same class pairing is not offered in the near future, we reserve the right to transfer registration to only one class.

If you bought the series of a class, you may makeup 1 session of the series in another class. We require 3 days notice to reschedule a session, and the class it is rescheduled to must be within 6 months of the beginning of your series. Makeup sessions only apply to classes taught by Academy instructors (not visiting or guest instructor classes).

Series class registrations are non-transferrable to another student.

Burlesque and Boylesque 101 Policies

Scholarships

We offer one 50% work-trade position and one 50% scholarship position for each 101 session, by application only. These positions are graciously subsidized by our wonderful fans and supporters who donate at the Graduation shows. This allows the Academy to offer expert instruction to those who might otherwise not be able to receive it. Scholarships are granted at the discretion of the Academy.

Refunds/Cancellations/Transfers Policy

You can only use fees paid for Burlesque 101 or Boylesque 101 for the same type of class (Burlesque 101 or Boylesque 101).

If we cancel a class, pre-payments will be refunded to students within 4 weeks, or you may choose to receive class credit instead, which will be held for up to 1 year.

If you cancel your registration up to 7 days before before class begins, you can be refunded 50% of total class fees.

If you drop out within 7 days of a class starting, and up to 48 hours after the first class of a session, we will refund 25% of total class fee.

If you drop out three or more days after first class of a session, your spot is not fillable, and thus the class fee is non-refundable.

All paid fees will be applicable towards the next session. Start date of new session must be within 6 months of start date of previous session. If session price increases, you’re responsible for paying the difference. If that session is on waitlist, you’ll be added to the beginning of the waitlist. If your name does not come up within 6 months, paid fees are non-refundable.

If you decide three or more days after the first class of a session to transfer to another session, the transfer will be permitted at the discretion of the administrators and will be subject to the following conditions: an additional deposit to hold your spot in the next session will be required. 50% of previously paid fees will be applicable towards the next session. Start date of new session must be within 6 months of start date of previous session. If session price increases, you’re responsible for paying the difference.
