Policies

  1. No gum, food, or drinks allowed inside the studio (unless it's water with a lid).
  2. Hair must always be up in a ponytail, bun, or braid.
  3. Proper attire is highly recommended for all classes.
  4. Regular attendance to classes is important to each student's development as a dancer. Make-up classes are available.
  5. Large jewelry (hoop earrings, dangling necklaces, bracelets, etc.) are not allowed in dance class as it is a safety hazard to all dancers.
  6. Students must wait inside the lobby until their parents pick them up. Parents of young children, please come inside the studio to pick your child up.
  7. Our observation television is turned on for the first week of each month. We do not allow parents to sit in on the classes as it is a distraction to the dancers.
  8. We do not recommend wearing dance shoes outside as it can ruin the shoes.
  9. If a parent is running late to pick up their child from dance, we ask that you call the studio to let us know.
  10. If a child must miss dance class, please call our studio & let us know.
  11. While classes are going on, we may not answer your phone call. Please leave us a message and we will return your call when our classes end.
  12. Each dancer is placed in a class according to age & ability. This is so the dancer will learn at the pace he/she is comfortable at.
  13. All students have the opportunity to perform in our Spring Recital. A recital fee is due in February & costume fees are due in November & December.
  14. If there are any concerns about your child's progress, please let the director know. We want your child to progress as a dancer just as much as you do.
