2. Other enrolments - If the total amount of the enrolment is less than $100, the full amount will be forfeited if cancellation is made at any time after enrolment has been processed.
3. Change of teachers - Our guest teachers are well recognized and regularly invited overseas to conduct workshops. If for any reason teachers assigned to a particular workshop are unable to conduct it, NO refund will be made if the workshop is not cancelled and is handled by another overseas guest teacher.

NOTE:
We always try to balance the gender in the workshops but no guarantee is given. To avoid disapointments, we encourage the participants to register with a partner.

It is the participant's responsibility to assess the level of their dance knowledge and ability when choosing the levels of their workshops; it is not necessarily the length of time you have been dancing. If in doubt, please ask your teacher or tango friends. As in the previous years, the teachers conducting the workshops will keep the level stated in the Class Schedule.

We reserve the right to make changes to the scheduled classes for reasons beyond our control. If a particular workshop does not meet the minimum enrolment, we reserve the right to cancel and/or change that class.

We reserve the right to take pictures and videos for promotional use by Acerca Tu Pty Ltd (t/a AusInternationalTangoFest and sydneydancestudio.com.au) and for purchase by Festival participants for their personal use.
