The following guidelines are designed to help our students attain the highest benefits from their classes and to eliminate misunderstanding among parents, students and instructors.

1. Placement of a student in a division or class is governed by the individual's potential and technical proficiency not necessarily by age or length of training.

2. Promptness and regular attendance are important in aiding your child's progress. Classes missed due to illness may be made up. No refunds will be given for unattended classes, vacations or holidays. Students that arrive 15 minutes late and missing the primary warm-up will not be allowed to participate in class. However, they must stay and watch the remainder of the class to ensure they do not get behind with new techniques.

3. Students are to wear the uniform designated for that particular class or division. For ballet classes, hair must be worn up and secured in a bun. For all other styles of dance, hair must be in a pony tail and away from the face. Students will not be permitted to participate in class unless properly attired; however, they must stay and watch to keep from getting behind in lessons.

4. Stud earrings are the ONLY jewelry allowed in the classroom. No other kind of jewelry will be allowed. Students must wear a cover up to and from classes when outside the building.

5. Instructors have the right to discipline unruly students. Students that are disrespectful or acting out during class will be asked to report to the office. For a second offence, the parents will be called for a conference with the instructor. If inappropriate behavior continues, the studio reserves the right to refuse the student back into class.

6. Please put your child's name in all dance supplies: tote bag, shoes, leotard etc.

7. There will be a ‘Visitor's Day’ in the fall and in the spring. Parents will be invited at this time. Permission for special guests, at other times is to be cleared through the office. Out of town Grandparents and visiting relatives are always welcome.

8. Our Annual Recital is held in the spring. Participating in the Recital is not mandatory; however, we have found it to be a valuable and unique experience for our students. We do encourage everyone to participate.

9. For reasons of safety; students must remain in the waiting room for their rides and are not permitted to wait outside or in parking areas. Parents are asked not to allow children to play in the parking lots or outside the building. Please contact the office to let us know if you are having your child picked up by someone other than yourself.

10. Chewing gum is absolutely not tolerated in the studios. Drinks are also not permitted in the studios.

We are always delighted to speak with you about your child’s progress. However, under no circumstances will this be done during or between classes. Please contact the office for an appointment (581-3559). Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.
