Swarmjam /- inquiries regarding promotion

q. You have parties on your website. How is this party different and can I have the additional things like mask making with his package?
Yes – We do offer different party packages on our website. They are the parties that the studio hosts year round. For us to work with Swarmjam and offer the incredible pricing of $89.00 we had to make changes to our standard packages.
q. How is this party package different?
The package is different by: additional 30 minutes use of the decorated party room. You can have 30 minutes prior to the dance class for your refreshments and the last 30 minutes for cake and presents. We then made the package for 10 children where our packages start at 8 children. You can still customize this package by purchasing your choice of: mask making, karaoke or face painting. When you purchase the mask making, karaoke or face painting you will also have an additional 30 minutes of party time. You party will be 2 hours and 30 minutes instead of 2 hours.
q. My daughter wants to invite one more child to the party. Is there an additional charge?
Yes – There is an additional fee of $50.00 for one to five more children.
q. Why is it so expensive to add one more child? I don’t want to have five more?
We have a fixed fee for an additional one to five more children as the instructor is provided with a host to assist them. Also with the additional one to five more children you will need to provide one more adult to assist you with your refreshments.
q. My daughter wants to invite seven more children to the party. Is there an additional charge?
Yes – There is an additional fee of $100.00 for six to ten more children to participate**
For each additional 1 – 5 more participants we provide the instructor/host with another host. An additional Parent/Guardian of the Party Host Boy/Girl is required to serve and distribute all refreshments at the ratio of 1 Parent/Guardian for each 5 children. (Example for 20 children 6 Parent/Guardians are required to attend service and distribute all refreshments.)
q. Your ad says that the decorations will be in yellow/gold and black. My child’s favorite colors are purple, pink and yellow. Can we have those colors for decorations?
Yes – We charge an additional $20.00 to change our decorations of: plastic table clothes, paper streamers and balloons that hang from the ceiling.
q. $20.00 seems expensive. I can purchase everything at the dollar store much cheaper. Can I do that and have you put them up?
Yes, you can also purchase the decorations you prefer. However, for us to put them up we will charge you $20.00. You can put any decorations up you would like. However, you will have to put them up within the 60 minutes allowed for your refreshment time to alleviate any additional charges for the extra time used over and above the 2 hour maximum booked for your event.
q. I have looked at your website and see that you have other party activities available. What would be the charges for the additional activities you offer?
Yes, we do have more activates available. We have selected several of our most popular activities with preferred pricing to compliment the Swarmjam promotion.
q. Do you think boys as young as 6 would like a dance party?
Yes – we have our regular dance classes where boys as young as 5 years old are taking hip hop classes.
q. What days do you have your birthday parties on?
We are a fully operational dance & music studio offering classes 6 days a week from Sunday to Friday. At this time we have set aside Saturdays from 12 noon to 8pm and Sundays 1pm – 3:30pm to accommodate the parties. We will do our best to work with you regarding your requests for days and times of your parties. There are also days and times during the week including Monday to Friday from 11are to 3:30pm that might be a consideration for your party.
q. Do you have blackout dates where we cannot book any parties?
No we do not have any blackout dates. But the dates and times are subject to availability.
q. It says that there will be additional charges for more adults other than the 2 required for a party of ten children. What would the extra charges before?

Yes we do charge an additional fee for adults that want to be part of the party. The additional fee is to have the party moved to a larger room to accommodate the adults. We will provide: table & chairs for each adult based on the additional fee paid. The additional fee is $10.00 per person that is pre registered. A fee of $15.00 will be charged for any unregistered guests that stay for the party.

q. Why can’t the adults just hang around?

Yes, any adults that want to sit in our lobby while the party is in progress are permitted to do so. However, your party may not be the only event going on at the time. We are a fully operational dance and music studio, so there could be other classes, rehearsals or rentals going on at the same time. We cannot guarantee that seating will be available for your guests. Several adults may want to video the event, however, we do not encourage and allow too many adults to stay in the dance studio while the instructor is teaching and working with your children. From our experience, adults do distract the children and can make it difficult for the instructor to keep their attention and their participation when other people are interrupting their concentration.
q. I would like to extend my party for an additional 30 minutes. What would the charge be?

The additional charge to extend your party will depend on how many people you have attending your party.

additional 60 minutes with instructor for up to 10 children $100.00
