Assessment fees

These fees are set by the administering bodies of Asia Pacific Dance Association and BBO dance. They are subject to change annually & this will be updated accordingly. Fees go directly to these organisations to assist with the administration, transportation & accommodation of the examiner. Payments should be made directly to Dance Wanaka - and then we forward payment in one lump sum to the examination body on the due dates below. 

Refund policy - refunds are only provided for medical reasons/illness (medical certificate required) and this must be provided within 30 days of the examination date. There are no refund on examination fees for “change of mind” or clashes with other activities or holidays. If you are unsure of availability, we recommend registering as a late entry to await the confirmed examination date.
