1. CONTRACT

These conditions govern all bookings with Centre Stage School whose registered office is at Bellevue, Mallow, Co Cork.

Any booking/s made or order placed by you, whether through the School’s website or otherwise, shall be deemed an offer by you to purchase the relevant classes subject to these booking conditions and it shall be at the School’s discretion to accept the offer.

No contract between you and the School shall come into existence until the School accepts full payment and issues a confirmation receipt. All contracts with the School and all matters arising from them are subject to Irish law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of Irish courts. The person who makes the booking accepts these conditions on behalf of all members of the party and is responsible for all payment due from the party.

Booking services with the company are currently only available to persons who are at least 18 years old. By submitting a booking you warrant and confirm to us that you comply with those arrangements.

A deposit is required for all products at the time of booking. In the event that the School is unable to obtain confirmation and cannot offer an alternative, a refund will be issued.

The School will not accept responsibility for cash sent through the post.

Payment on booking requests made on the website can be made by Visa Debit, Visa and Mastercard. The School reserves the right to charge you for any handling fees incurred by us in relation to bookings made by credit card, these fees are currently 2% per transaction. Payment can also be made by Visa Debit which does not incur a handling fee.

 

3. ALTERATIONS BY THE SCHOOL

Although the School makes every effort to ensure that published descriptions are correct, it cannot guarantee that all classes will go ahead. There is a minimum quota per class. “Low Bookings”; when the number of persons who have booked a particular arrangement is less than the minimum required to make it viable.

The School therefore reserves the right to change/cancel or offer an alternative class. If this is not satisfactory, we will issue you with a full refund.

5. CANCELLATION POLICY

We offer a three week trial for classes (the three weeks begins at the time/date of booking made), and if your child decides not to return after the third week of the trial you are entitled to 80% of your fee refunded. After this however no refunds will be given and a 100% cancellation fee applies. Fees can be carried forward to the next term if you so wish. Fees are non-transferable.

 

6. COMPLAINTS

Please contact the School’s Office by telephoning 022 53477 or emailing centrestageschool@gmail.com so that the School is given the opportunity to help, should a problem arise.  Please do not contact the teacher directly.

Testimonials

After years of being a part of the CSS family I can safely say that the joy and support the staff and students bring every day has allowed me to grow, find out who I am and where I want to be. The standard of musical theatre and dance here is beyond amazing especially for those striving to pursue a career in performing arts or those just looking for some after school fun!
 To many, including myself, Centre Stage has been a second home. It is a place where you can be yourself with the knowledge that someone will always be cheering you on

Sophie Ryan (Past Pupil)

I have been a student of Centre Stage for the past 13 years, and cannot thank them enough, from the life long friends I have made, to the techniques in dance, singing and acting that I have learned! From staff to students, CSS is my second family, and a place that many pupils have the absolute pleasure to call home!

Saoirse Murray (Past Pupil)

I once read that " Happiness can be defined as an enduring state of mind consisting not only of feelings of joy, contentment and other positive emotions but also of a sense that one's life is meaningful and valued " I truly believe that sums up all children including my own son and daughter who attend Centre Stage every week.  I cannot recommend Centre Stage enough for the positive impact it has had on our family over the last 10yrs. We have all not only gained new skills and talents but friendships to last a lifetime. Thank you to all the fantastic teachers and those behind the scenes who keep the show on the road every day. Congratulations and best wishes to you all for the next 20yrs

Our daughters have been attending various classes & camps at Centre Stage since their wobbly infant legs could bop along to the beat & they could join in the infectious rhymes, songs, dances, fun & games led by Aideen's team of highly experienced, creative & kind hearted staff. Their love for music, singing & dance has been strengthened as well as new friendships formed and confidence in their own abilities nurtured & developed during their time at Centre Stage. It's hard to put the magicial essence of Centre Stage into words but the beaming smiles of children entering & exiting the school is a fabulous testament to the wonderful school it is. Thank you Centre Stage for all the wonderful work you do - we highly recommend the school

Aoife Barry

Since 2015, we have been involved with Centre Stage School. Initially my 3 children attended Theatre Tots class. They now attend classes which appeal to their individual interests.  Two of my children go for fun, while my third enjoys going for the Musical theatre Company (competes in performance competition).  Irrespective of their level of interest, all the teachers and staff continue to praise and encourage all of them.  There is no doubt that this has helped in building their confidence which continues to grow year on year.  Thanks Aideen and all at CSS!

Aoife Curtin

Our daughter is attending centre stage school for the last 4 years and there is no way she would miss a class as she loves it so much!  She started with Musical Theatre and quickly wanted to try various dance classes too.  She now does ballet, hip hop, acro and Pulse Dance Company!  We find her teachers are always encouraging, positive and inclusive of everyone no matter what their ability.  As someone who started rather quiet and shy, she has blossomed and grown each year under the close supervision of her teachers. Centre Stage is great fun with the children leaving class beaming or indeed skipping out the door!  We highly recommend Centre Stage School!

Kay Harrington

Seven years ago our daughter started at Centre Stage and her interest in the performing arts has been truly nurtured in the Dance, Musical Theatre and Drama classes. The teachers are fun, engaging and share their own love of the arts in a way that sparks the imagination of their students. As her parent, it's a joy watching her grow as she develops friendships with her classmates and they perform together on stages, both big and small. We look forward to many more years of enriching experiences with Centre Stage!

Megan Bean

From the moment Keira, Lily and Amy joined they have been welcomed into a nurturing and inspiring environment. The passionate and dedicated teachers at Centre Stage have instilled a deep sense of confidence and happiness in them. The opportunities to perform have provided my girls with invaluable experiences that go beyond the classroom. Each performance, workshop, and class has been meticulously planned and executed, showcasing the commitment of the Centre Stage team that has truly become a second home for the girls. They have formed lasting friendships and cherished memories.  The joy and excitement they bring home after each session are contagious, and their progress is a testament to the exceptional guidance and support they receive. Thank you, Centre Stage School, for being a cornerstone in my daughters' lives. Your influence has been profound, and we look forward to many more years of growth, performance, and joy with you all.

Lucy has been attending Centre Stage since the age of 4.  I can’t thank the teachers and staff enough for all they instill in our kids; the talent, confidence & camaraderie inside those doors are so important, and it's a privilege for any child to be part of, and something which they’ll carry with them through life. 

Lisa Punch

My daughter has been attending Centre Stage School for 4 years. She started with Theatre Tots and moved on ward from there. The musical theatre classes have been instrumental in the development of her self-confidence, as well as her great love for music and dance. The teachers and staff include and encourage all children of all abilities, and each child has a chance to shine. I couldn’t recommend Centre Stage School highly enough. Thank you to everyone there for the amazing work you do!
