Focus Sessions

Purchasing a membership does not guarantee a spot in class. You still must reserve a spot in advance. Focus sessions are catered to your semi private lessons included in your membership each week. All focus sessions should 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 1 week 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 1 week period, the pass will expire from the membership.

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 1 week 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.

Memberships that include Bonus Sessions: Bonus passes are valid for the week assigned only and can not be attended early or extended into a different week. In the event a Bonus class is not attended, it will expire on the Saturday of the week assigned.

Cancellations/No Shows

MCDF requires a minimum of 24 hours notice for all cancellations. Reservations canceled prior to the 24 hour mark will have class passes automatically returned to their account and can reschedule. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will be considered late and account will be charged a $10 late cancellation fee, in addition to the discounted pass attached to the reservation being redeemed, without an option to make up No Shows will be charged a $25 missed session fee, in addition to the pass attached being redeemed as if attended with no makeup available. Failure to clear missed session fees within 48 hours of missed session will result in the fee being deducted from paid tuition or pass in account and altering the membership. MCDF reserves the right to ban advanced reservations from accounts with excessive late cancellations/no shows/missed sessions. In the event MCDF needs to cancel for any reason, the pass attached to the reservation is returned to reschedule. In the event the studio cancels with less than a 3 hours notice a prize pass will be given for the inconvenience. Please Note: In order for us to keep Pole Academy tuition at up to a 75% discount from our single classes, the fees are not negotiable. Thank you for understanding.

Missed Session Payment Center

If multiple sessions were missed, an individual transaction is needed to clear each fee separately. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Payments and Payment Plans

All deposits, payments, and tuition made to MCDF are non refundable.

If on a payment plan, tuition is due no later than the due date assigned at the time of registration. In the event tuition is not paid by the close of studio on the due date, a $25 Late Fee will be added to the tuition invoice. If not paid within 24 hours of the due date, the membership will be suspended, with any reservations attached to the unpaid tuition released back to the schedule. Tuition must be received within 72 hours of the due date to avoid cancellation for non-payment of tuition. In the event a membership is canceled due to non payment of tuition, reinstatement is available for an additional $25 fee within 24 hours from the time of the membership cancellation. In the event a membership is not reinstated within 24 hours of cancellation, a $189 Early Pole Academy Termination Fee will also be added and the total invoice will be due immediately. Once invoice is paid, the sessions attached to the tuition invoice will be added to the account as a bundle pack, and valid for 30 days from date issued.

Pole Academy Drop Policy

If you are unable to continue with your membership and wish to cancel, you must complete a Drop Form. An Early Membership Termination Fee of $189 will be charged upon submission of the form, which covers administrative processing, and the time required to refill the membership slot during non-enrollment periods.

For members on a payment plan, billing will cease the month following the submission of the Drop Form. Members who have paid in full will receive a studio credit, less the early termination fee, which will remain valid for the duration of the original membership period.

Please note that Drop Forms will not be accepted after the 20th week of the membership term, as it is no longer practical to fill the slot for that period. If the membership is not canceled by week 20, any remaining tuition payments for the membership will be required.

*Please note: Memberships are created for the purpose of student progression and consistency. Due to limited availability in all workshops & memberships, students who drop from the Pole Academy workshop, will be ineligible for future Pole Academy & Membership registrations.
