PLEASE NOTE: Further discounts are NOT applicable if you take advantage of the UNLIMITED CAP offer!
Note: In our general and exam classes, the school year and age are only guidelines. It is best to place the child in a class that matches their skill level, social maturity, and developmental needs, taking dance instruction into account.
Major & Graded Ballet Inclusion or Recreational Ballet
Both Major and Graded Ballet are included in the UNLIMITED PACKAGE CAP. Additionally, two streams are now available: recreational and exam based. For those who wish to do Ballet for recreational purposes, up-skilling their other genres, you are only required to do one class. Those wanting to work towards examination need to attend both classes that are scheduled for their grade (please see the current timetable).
If you wish to work towards sitting Major Ballet exams, you will be required to attend the two allocated classes at your grade level. Students who attend one class only, will not progress to wearing pointe shoes (grade required), as your child’s strength and safety are the priority of our team. This will be decided individually in consultation with the Director and Ballet faculty.

Payments Explained
All fees are to be paid via direct debit (through Ezidebit or Stripe, coming soon). We do not accept weekly cash payments. When you enrol, you will choose one of the three payment plan options above (full, 50/50, or fortnightly). Fees are invoiced on a term basis, and you’ll receive a confirmation of your payment schedule. Please note: If you add classes mid-year or incur additional costs (e.g., exam or costume fees), these will be invoiced and billed separately, with detailed dates for when the debit will be scheduled.
Dishonours & Failed Payments
ADC charges $15 for each dishonoured payment. All dishonoured payments will be charged five business days after the dishonour, allowing time to recover funds. If you need an extended time frame before ADC attempts to re-debit, you must contact accounts at accounts_@ambiancedance.com.au to request a payment plan at accounts_@ambiancedance.com.au.
Dishonoured payments may also incur a bank dishonour fee, which is passed on to the account holder. Please review your bank’s terms and conditions.
Repeated failed payments could lead to:
- Suspension from classes, students cannot attend classes if they are not financially and/or
- The requirement to pay in full for future terms.
Our payment processors (such as Ezidebit or Stripe) charge an additional fee for failed transactions. Outstanding fees beyond the current term may be referred to an external debt collection agency, with any associated costs passed to the customer. ADC urges families facing financial difficulty to contact accounts promptly to arrange a payment plan and avoid extra charges.

- Missed classes, illness, holidays, or timetable changes do not entitle families to refunds or fee reductions.
