To maintain a focused, professional environment, no phones or recording devices are allowed inside the studio or rehearsal space. TOUR MODE operates as a closed-set training experience, mirroring real-life tour rehearsals where phone use is strictly prohibited.
Dancers may use their phones only during breaks and in designated lounge or outdoor areas. This ensures full engagement, protects artist content, and maintains the integrity of the training environment.

what’s your refund policy?
All tuition payments for TOUR MODE are non-refundable and non-transferable, including but not limited to circumstances such as illness, injury, scheduling conflicts, travel issues, personal emergencies, or changes in availability.
TOUR MODE operates on a limited-capacity, production-based model. Once a dancer registers, their spot is reserved and production costs are incurred.
For this reason, no refunds or credits will be issued for any reason.
By registering, you are committing to a professional training experience with limited capacity. We encourage all dancers to ensure they are fully ready before securing their spots.
