EVENT WAIVER, RELEASE & TERMS
TRIBE 99’s Commitment to Opportunity
Participation & Refund Policy Statement
At TRIBE 99, our goal is to provide dancers with meaningful opportunities to participate in training programs, recruiting exposure events, educational experiences, and other services designed to support dancer growth and development.
We understand that circumstances such as injuries, illness, scheduling conflicts, travel challenges, or event capacity limits may prevent a dancer from attending or fully participating in an event as originally planned. When possible, TRIBE 99 may provide alternative participation options such as virtual participation, video submissions, or other program adjustments that allow dancers to remain engaged in the experience.
When submission opportunities are available, dancers are encouraged to submit materials that best represent their abilities. While specific submission guidelines may be provided for certain programs, participants are encouraged to share appropriate materials that highlight their skillsets whenever possible.
Please note that TRIBE 99 maintains a no-refund policy for most registrations. This policy allows us to responsibly plan events, secure venues and faculty, and ensure the sustainability and consistency of our programs.
We do not take this policy lightly. Our goal is to provide equitable opportunities for all participants while maintaining the operational integrity required to host high-quality programs and events.
By purchasing a registration or pass for any TRIBE 99 event or program, you acknowledge and agree to these participation and refund policies.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to provide valuable opportunities for dancers across all TRIBE 99 programs.
