How to book

Booking a workshop or one-off event

1. Find it. Open What's on and choose the event. Its page has the date, the place, what it costs and how many places are left.
2. Press Book now.
3. Choose your price. If there's a choice of prices, such as a sliding scale, pick the one that fits. An early-bird price, if there is one, shows until its closing date.
4. Fill in your details. Your name and email, and any questions Deeper Dance 5 Rhythms asks. If you've been given a discount code, type it in and press Apply.
5. Agree to the terms and press Continue to payment. You go to Stripe's secure payment page. Your place is held for 30 minutes while you pay.
6. Done. You'll see a confirmation straight away, and an email with your booking and a receipt follows. There's a reminder the day before and again two hours before.

Sold out? Add your name and email to the waitlist on the event's page. If a place comes up, you'll be emailed a link to book it.

Booking weekly classes

Each weekly class has one row on What's on with its next dates. Tap a date to open that class.

Then book as for a workshop above.

Booking a course

A course runs over several dates. Its page lists every date.

• The whole course: one booking holds your place on every date.
• Drop in: where drop-ins are offered, choose Drop-in and tick the dates you want.
• Pick your dates: on some courses you tick only the dates you want. There may be a discount if you choose them all.

Longer bookings come in three short steps: Choose, Your details, then Review & pay. The total stays in view all the way through, and you can go back to change anything before you pay.

Your confirmation email lists every date, and you'll be reminded before each one.

Booking a retreat

1. Apply, if asked. Some retreats ask you to apply first, with your name, email and a short message. Nothing is paid yet. If Deeper Dance 5 Rhythms says yes, you're emailed a booking link that works for your email address only.
2. Choose your room and price. Where there are rooms (for example single or shared), each has its own prices. A room marked (full) has gone, but the others may still have space.
3. Answer the questions. Retreats often ask about diet, experience or health. Health answers are only seen by Deeper Dance 5 Rhythms, are never sent by email, and are deleted 30 days after the retreat unless you tick to keep them for next time.
4. Pay a deposit, if offered. Tick Pay in instalments to pay a deposit now and the rest later. You'll see the dates and amounts before you pay. Each instalment is emailed to you three days before it's due, with a link to pay.
5. Pay and you're booked. Your confirmation lists all the dates and any payments still to come.

Finding your bookings

Press My bookings at the top of any page and type the email you booked with. We'll email you a link. It shows:

• what you've booked, coming up and past;
• what you've paid and what's still due, with a button to pay the next instalment;
• your card and receipts;
• a copy of everything Deeper Dance 5 Rhythms holds about you, if you'd like it.

This phone or computer stays signed in, so next time My bookings opens straight away. Press Sign out on this device if it's a shared computer.

Can't come?

If Deeper Dance 5 Rhythms's terms allow it, you'll see a Cancel booking button next to the booking. It tells you how much you'll get back before you confirm, and the refund goes back to your card. A class booked with a pass goes back on your pass. If there's no button, or it's too close to the date, get in touch. Cancellation terms are on the Policies page.
