Studio Rules
- For safety, we prefer that students NOT wait outside the building. Please come inside to pick up your child if they are under the age of 10. Older students can look for their parents through the window and then go to their parents’ car.
- Students should never walk outside in their dance shoes. This damages the shoes and will also damage the dance floors.
- No food or drink is allowed in the dance rooms. All bags and belongings should be left neatly in the cubbyholes in the dressing area. Write students name in all shoes and on dance bags.
- Punctuality is expected. Classes will start on time to ensure quality instruction. All questions and concerns for teachers should be handled after class.
- Classes are closed to spectators unless approved and escorted by teachers or office staff.
- Disruptions during class are not acceptable. Teachers will speak to parents if disruptions hinder instruction.
- Notification of class placement is sent prior to the start of each dance year. Students are placed based on skill level. Teachers reserve the right to change class placement.
