Education or Forced Bundled Sales? Parents Should Carefully Read Every Fine Print Before Joining This Studio.We’ve just attended our third class at this studio. Today, the owner, Maree, came in and told me that my daughter would not be allowed to continue lessons unless she wore their official uniform.Before we officially enrolled and paid the annual fee, no one had ever informed us that buying their uniform was a requirement to attend classes. Maree said this “policy” was written somewhere in the online registration, but this was never clearly communicated. Now, after paying the annual fee, we’re suddenly told that without purchasing the uniform, my daughter can’t join the class.If every student actually wore the uniform, I wouldn’t say anything. But according to Maree, some students paid for the uniform yet don’t wear it — and that’s somehow acceptable. So, is the studio’s main purpose to teach dance or to sell products?I’m requesting a partial refund of the annual fee, since our decision to withdraw is due to the owner’s failure to disclose the mandatory uniform purchase before enrollment. However, the owner insisted that a refund is “impossible” because, according to her, the policy was written in the registration terms. It’s unreasonable to enforce such a rule after taking payment.⸻我们刚刚上完这家舞蹈教室的第三节课。今天店主 Maree 来到教室，当面告诉我，如果我女儿不穿她们指定的制服，就不能继续上课。在我们正式报名、缴纳年费之前，从来没有任何人明确告知“必须购买制服才能上课”。Maree 说这条规定写在注册时的条款里，但这从来没有被清楚地说明。结果我们交完钱后，才被突然告知“不买就不能上课”。如果所有学生都穿着统一服装，我也不会多说什么。但 Maree 自己说，有的学生虽然买了制服却不穿——这种情况居然可以接受。那请问，这家 Studio 的重点到底是教授舞蹈，还是销售产品？我要求按比例退还年费，因为退课的原因是老板在报名前没有说明必须购买制服这件事。然而老板坚持说“不可能退款”，因为她认为政策在注册条款里写过。收完钱之后才执行这样的规定，实在让人无法接受
