Studio Policies & Terms of Service
​
Welcome to MM Ballroom! To provide the best experience for our community, we have established the following policies for all Private Ballroom Dance Lessons and GYROTONIC® sessions. By scheduling a session, you agree to these terms.
1. Scheduling & Payment
-
Reservations: Sessions are scheduled based on the availability of the studio space, the instructor, and the client.
-
Pre-Payment: Payment is required in advance to secure your reservation. We accept online payments, cash, credit cards, Venmo, and checks.
-
No Refunds: All sales are final. Purchased sessions, packages, and gift certificates are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
2. Package Expiration Schedule
To encourage consistent progress and manage studio availability, all packages have an expiration date from the date of purchase:
​​
-
All packages and classes Expire 12 months from purchase.
-
Any unused sessions remaining after these periods will be forfeited.
3. Cancellation & Punctuality
-
24-Hour Notice: We require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or "no-shows," will be charged in full. We understand emergencies happen and may consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
-
Punctuality: Please arrive 5 minutes early. Sessions will end at their scheduled time regardless of your arrival time to respect the next client's slot.
4. Studio Conduct & Safety

Dress Code: Proper dance or fitness attire is required. This includes appropriate dance shoes (suede or leather soles) and hair ties. For GYROTONIC®, please follow instructor guidance to ensure safety on specialized equipment.
