Focus Sessions

Focus sessions are catered to your semi private lessons included in your membership each week. All focus sessions must be complete each week to remain current with the workshop.

If you miss a focus session NOT due to a late cancel or no show, you will have 2 weeks to complete from the date the session(s) were initially due. Email MCDFPole@gmail.com to schedule your makeup. (Our week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Sessions should be complete by Saturday of each week.) If you do not make up the session within the 2 week period, you will need to purchase a single session pass within 4 weeks of the missed session to remain current with the workshop.

In the event you’re going on vacation; if at least a 4 week notice is given for the sessions that will be missed, you will be given until the end of the term to complete the make up sessions for the time off. Less than 4 weeks notice, you will be given 2 weeks to make up sessions upon your return. If no notice is given, focus session make ups will not be provided. Email MCDFPole@gmail.com to schedule your make up.

Staying Current with your Workshop Membership

In order for Pole Academy to flow properly and ensure optimal student progress, you must follow the focus session structure.

Scenarios that would jeopardize placement in Pole Academy: Missed Focus Sessions and did not make them up, Unpaid missed session fees, Unpaid tuition.

In the event the membership is altered, a member will have 24 hours to reinstate the membership, or the spot in the workshop will be forfeited. The remainder of the membership will be transitioned into a Bundle package that includes the same amount of sessions that were remaining in your PA membership, less all membership perks.

Cancellations/No Shows

MCDF requires a 24 hour notice for all cancellations. In the event less than 24 hours notice is given, the cancellation will be considered “late” You will be charged a $20 cancellation fee for each late cancelled class up to 24 hours before the class, No exceptions. If your reservation is a no show the charge will be $25. Missed session fees are due no later than 48 hours of the missed session. - Once payment is received, a make up pass will be added to your account and valid for 2 weeks from the date of the missed session.

Due to the discounted tuition with memberships, Missed Session fees are not negotiable and will be deducted from tuition and alter the expiration of your membership, if unpaid. If an account has an unpaid late cancel or no show, that account will forfeit the bonus passes for the following month. Please just try to give a 24 hour notice for cancellations, to avoid missed session fees. In the event the studio cancels for any reason with less than a 24 hour notice, passes are returned to accounts to be rescheduled, and a free semi private session pass is added to accounts affected for the inconvenience. Cancellations made by the studio within the 24 hour time frame will result in passes returned to accounts to reschedule. Semi Private Prize Passes will not be redeemed for Late Cancellations/No Shows. Effective 3/1: Missed session fees will be invoiced from studiobooking, and due within 48 hours of cancellation to avoid membership adjustment.
